I receive a lot of reviews of scorekeeper asking for the ability to edit the names of players, which is a feature already available through long-pressing on the player name. Apparently, long-pressing is not something intuitive to try for some people, so they are left without the ability to change the player name. I hope this video preview helps make it easier for users to understand how the app works and how to get to additional features already available to them.

I released Scorekeeper, my first app, on the Google Play Store three years ago. It recently reached 50,000 downloads! I'm excited something I made could be useful to so many people and hope I can keep making more and better apps going forward.

Let's say we have some magical rabbits. These rabbits never die. A pair of rabbits has 3 more pairs of rabbits in every litter, and they start producing litters after one generation. If you start with one pair of rabbits, how many rabbits will you have in 5 generations? This was the premise of a problem I was working on this week in Python (check out the full problem here:  http://rosalind.info/problems/fib/ ). I had to draw it out on my white board to wrap my head around it: The idea behind this problem is that finding the number of rabbits in a given generation is similar to calculating a given number in the Fibonacci sequence and that it can be solved recursively, so that's how I did it. Recursive rabbit solution: It doesn't really have to be done recursively, though. I was talking through it with Steven, and we realized that the manual approach I had used on the whiteboard was also fairly efficient. Turns out it can be implemented in fewer lines of cod
