For school I and my other classmates were assigned to come up with a project (like a science fair except this year it didn't have to be science) and do it. I programmed this program that takes a photo of a green shape on a red background and, using linear regression, finds the slopes of two of the lines and some fancy equations to find the angle with that information finds out if it is my square or my equilateral triangle.

(sorry never got around to uploading the images and they're on a floppy that I turned in to my teacher, not on my machine :/ sorry)

I thoroughly enjoyed the headaches this project gave me not really but I learned a lot and I couldn't have done it without some help from my grandpa to find the equations and to think up some algoritms to iron out the last of the bugs. (My grandpa, by the way, used to program in BASIC, you know, on those computers that you had to write the code on notecards and feed them into a machine with no screen? yea, those computers. LOL)
