I bet it's artificial intelligence in video games.

You know, the stupid AI in games that like to screw you over. Notable examples are the cheating AIs in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon that nuke you and the CPUs in Mario Kart.

Something involving AI/Evolutionary Algorithms.

The two game development ones are more because they were suggested more for intro to AI stuff but I doubt it's going to actually be a game.  It'll more likely be on the robotics side since my concentration is in Robotics and AI.

I wish my senior project could have been on how video games are unfair and screw me out of wins.

I bet those books cost a small fortune. Why are textbooks so expensive? :|

Clearly, your senior project is all about Objective-C.  I come to this conclusion because I see you've bought a book on Objective-C.

Because everyone wants to rip students off.  THEY WANT US ALL TO PAY FOR OUR EDUCATION WITH BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS.

In all reality it's probably because textbooks aren't typically bought for leisure so they need to get the revenue from what sales they get.

That's why you should always stick to getting used copies.
