Recently, I had a class about hill climbing and local optima in college. The subject was kinda magic for me, and it became even better when a challenge was given to us.
During our class, we approached the N-Queens problem using this algorithm, and latter our task was to improve this implementation to escape the local optima.
As I was super excited, I spent my entire weekend implementing my solution and documenting it.

This is nice work, and it's great practice for me, as I'm learning to read Portuguese.
Would it be possible to put the English translation in parallel with the Portuguese to make it more accessible for people?
I could provide a translation here, but it would be great to have it on the page.

Thank you, I'm glad to see you're interested in my content.
Sure man, I'll do my best to make it more accessible for non-brazilian people. Actually, I'm not fluent in English, so doing that will be a nice way to put in practice my knowledge, as well.
The website I shared is very young yet, it has been about a week since I first deployed it. But I'm working to make it available in other languages.
Although the english version is not available on my website yet, I could translate it on my Github repo. The content is pretty much the same, and it would be easier for me now.
It hasn't had much traction, but I hope some people find it useful.

Nice work.
I've offered a few changes to the text. The text is easy to understand, and all the changes are minor. Some are genuine corrections, some are stylistic. It was impossible to distinguish the two.
Bom trabalho.
Ofereci algumas alterações ao texto. O texto é fácil de entender e todas as alterações são mínimas. Algumas são correções genuínas, outras são estilísticas. Era impossível distinguir as duas no texto ... peço desculpas.

A million thanks!
As a non-English speaker, sometimes I can't see some errors in my text. It'll be very useful for me, thank you so much!

You're very welcome.
As someone learning Portuguese it's been a useful exercise trying to read your original. I must go back to it when I have time and practise more.

In just a moment I'll push the English version there. Hope it'll help you

I did my best to write it, but if you find any mistakes in my text, feel free to open an issue/PR.

I suggest you submit it as a post in its own right, and I'd suggest doing that about 14 hours from now. Around 09:00 GMT.
Cheers ...
