Coding challenge/telethon idea: optimization of Santas giftwrapping department. #1159

Open kristebo opened 5 years ago

kristebo commented 5 years ago

We work in Santa's giftwrapping department : some gifts are easy to wrap some aren't.

First the cubical gifts: what are the optimal way to wrap these?

What about wraping a football (sphere). How can you know what pattern you should fold the wrapping paper so you use the least of it?

And gift that have a combination of shapes. How can we wrap these?

Merry Xmas from Norway..

Happy New Year!

Could be this help 3D printing some how?

Ho ho ho. Slicing is one great idea, I didn't think of that at all. But this follows the surface allmost perfectly, and is difficult to achieve with paper in the "real" world.

I was thinking og some sort of projection where sharp edges can be extracted. Now we can use paper folding to wrap the model. Folding creases can be made with reinforcement learning.
