COMP6021 Class 08 Representing Text

the one with the zombies




We considered how to represent text using bits. I asked students to devise a text transmission system using traffic lights for use after the zombie apocalypse. I asked students to work in groups and email their solutions to me.

At the end of class I pointed out that someone has already devised a very similar system. But that it doesn't use lights. Quite the contrary in fact.
