Week 30: 13th April - 19th April: Time is Ticking!!

Time is truly running away from me. I have so much work still to do especially for the dissertation however, not much is getting done at the moment due to the fact (mentioned below) that AI coursework hand-in is becoming ever closer. I am getting bits of the dissertation done but i am not happy with any of it yet. I really really need to get on with writing the dissertation properly instead of having lots of notes and plans about it everywhere. In respect to the programming absolutely nothing new has been done and nothing will be done until AI is finished as not much more is required so it has become lower in priority. Below are some of the notes and plans done for the dissertation so far.
