The Build Brighton Hackspace doesn’t make a profit. All our income goes on rent and equipment, which is why we charge a membership fee. We’re run by volunteers. Join Us! →

  • How We See Ourselves May 22, 2013

    When I was kid we drew pictures of ourselves and our school put them on a tea towel to sell to parents. Strange that even as a ten year old I knew I wanted to be a programmer (3, 10).

  • Messing about with 7 segment displays and a PIC 16F628a May 17, 2013

    I scored a load of cheap 4-way 7-segment displays off eBay the other day. They worked out at about 30p each so I got 20 and stuffed them in a drawer. Then I thought that perhaps it'd be nice to get one working, just so that we know what to do with them...

  • LittleLGP - Linear Genetic Programming in Clojure May 16, 2013

    LittleLGP is a little genetic programming (GP) project written in Clojure. It evolves populations of two distinct classes of programs that have a typical predator prey relationship. One class of program seeks to destabilize the environment whilst the other seeks to bring order.

    This project was my first attempt at writing a GP program and my first program written in Clojure. Overall, I really enjoyed working on it, even if the final product isn't great! The code is available to peruse on Github.
