FTL Beam Optimizer - Maximizing Room Strikes in Starship Battles - Episode 2

Dive into a coding tutorial focused on optimizing beam weaponry in the game FTL (Faster Than Light). Learn how to write a subroutine that maximizes the number of rooms struck by a beam weapon, a powerful but technically challenging aspect of the game. Follow along as the instructor codes in VPython, pointing out and correcting mistakes made during the process. Gain insights into game mechanics, problem-solving techniques, and coding practices. Explore the intersection of physics and programming while developing a practical application for a popular game. By the end of this 38-minute video, you'll have a deeper understanding of beam optimization in FTL and improved coding skills applicable to game development and beyond.
