Backtracking to solve simple puzzles
3 March 2008I guess you have probably come across some of these games on internet. They are flashy and stuff. I personally like the puzzles, don’t ask me why.

Balancing our haskell tree
9 December 2007Some days ago I presented to you a simple binary tree implementation in Haskell. It seems that I didn’t have enough, and if you have been checking the bzr branch, you have probably noticed that by now (rev10), the tree is actually an AVL Tree.
