The author wrote a program that solves Mario levels by exploring the state space with a path-finding algorithm with a guiding heuristic. This is a nice demo of how you sometimes don't need sophisticated algorithm or machine learning to tackle complex problems.
A series of courses to get your hands wet (dry?) on learning electronics. Ben Eater style.
