Example of artificial intelligence?
Example:
In this example we will try to demonstrate a very simple practical example of artificial Intelligence programming in Delphi using Delphi arrays.
I have chosen a Nepali game named "GATTA TIPNE KHEL" (meaning pebble picking game) for this purpose. We can see small children playing this game in the playground. In this pebble picking game a pile of some pebbles is kept in the ground. One of the two players picks one, two or three pebbles at a time in his turn, leaving the pile for the other player to pick for his alternate turn. In this alternate picking process, the player who picks the last pebble(s) will be the loser and called to be a DOOM in Nepali.
The main logic of the game is to leave the pile of pebbles with 13, 9, 5 or 1 pebble(s) for the opponent to pick. In the program the starting number of pebbles are set to 17, 21, 25, 29 … etc. so that computer could win always if it does not make a mistake. But in the real play computer seems to be gradually learning by correcting mistakes of the previously played games. At last it finds all its mistakes and corrects them to become an unbeatable champion.
It seems computer simulates the psychological learning process of animal, learning by correcting and not repeating the mistakes. A multidimensional array of elements (1..4,1..3) is chosen as the instruction book for the computer to pick the pebbles. The instruction book contains four pages with three lines of instructions to pick pebbles. The first line instructs to pick a single pebble, the second line instructs to pick 2 and the third line instructs to pick 3 pebbles. At the beginning, computer chooses a random page and a random line of instruction to pick the pebble.
When the game finishes, if computer looses the game, the last instruction is red-marked (erased) and the instruction will not be read in the future. After playing many games, all the instructions leading to a lost game will be red marked and there will be left only the instructions those lead to a win.

What is the best learn to type program?
I have tried several touch typing programs, and I have to say that the best option is both free of charge and online. It is located at www.sense-lang.org/typing and supports several keyboard layouts from several countries. The only thing you need to use this is a flash player.
Even though the program has a set of several tutorials based on random text (ff, jj, fj, jf etc.), the main emphasis of the site is on pasting your own text and practicing with that. This is best, as most people remember much better when they are practicing with real text than when with random text.
When you are learning to touch type, you should consider the Dvorak Simplified Layout, which is a better alternative to the QWERTY-design, which is quite outdated. What the layout has to offer is:
# It is easier to learn (even when you have used a QWERTY-keyboard for several decades)
# Greater speed (research done in the navy shows that the amount of time used to learn to type on the keyboard is regained when you have used it for ten days) # Better ergonomy (people who use Dvorak are less likely to get sicknesses in their hands and arms as the keyboard layout has been better designed.)
Read all about it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_simplified_keyboard, and several other computers. All major operating systems have a US-English Dvorak layout built-in, and you can easily install one for your language, or even make it yourself. A guide to switching is available at: http://doomtech.net/wiki/index.php/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard
When learning, try to do your best NOT to look at the keyboard, and try to touch type as often as you can, even when not practicing (chatting, writing etc.) I typed for two months, and my typing speed doubled!
