Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we learned a new programming language and complete a project in just a few days through theoretical knowledge and a lot of practice, even though we knew nothing about it before. We are also proud that we successfully write Chinese chess game, which is one of the most popular board games in China.

What we learned

First, we learned logic programming languages and Prolog in particular, which is different from other languages as a declarative programming language. We also learned Common Sense Reasoning and Answer Set Programming. Second, we improved project collaboration skills with deadlines creeping and pressure. Finally, we learned that you'll never know how close you are to succeeding if you quit now.
