easyAI 2.0.3

Installation

If you have pip installed, type this in a terminal

sudo pip install easyAI

Otherwise, download the source code (for instance on Github), unzip everything into one folder and in this folder, in a terminal, type

sudo python setup.py install

Additionally you will need to install Numpy to be able to run some of the examples.

A quick example

Let us define the rules of a game and start a match against the AI:

from easyAI import TwoPlayerGame, Human_Player, AI_Player, Negamax

class GameOfBones( TwoPlayerGame ):
    """ In turn, the players remove one, two or three bones from a
    pile of bones. The player who removes the last bone loses. """

    def __init__(self, players=None):
        self.players = players
        self.pile = 20 # start with 20 bones in the pile
        self.current_player = 1 # player 1 starts

    def possible_moves(self): return ['1','2','3']
    def make_move(self,move): self.pile -= int(move) # remove bones.
    def win(self): return self.pile<=0 # opponent took the last bone ?
    def is_over(self): return self.win() # Game stops when someone wins.
    def show(self): print ("%d bones left in the pile" % self.pile)
    def scoring(self): return 100 if game.win() else 0 # For the AI

# Start a match (and store the history of moves when it ends)
ai = Negamax(13) # The AI will think 13 moves in advance
game = GameOfBones( [ Human_Player(), AI_Player(ai) ] )
history = game.play()

Result:

20 bones left in the pile

Player 1 what do you play ? 3

Move #1: player 1 plays 3 :
17 bones left in the pile

Move #2: player 2 plays 1 :
16 bones left in the pile

Player 1 what do you play ?

from easyAI import solve_with_iterative_deepening
r,d,m = solve_with_iterative_deepening(
    game=GameOfBones(),
    ai_depths=range(2,20),
    win_score=100
)

tt = TranspositionTable()
GameOfBones.ttentry = lambda game : game.pile # key for the table
r,d,m = solve_with_iterative_deepening(
    game=GameOfBones(),
    ai_depths=range(2,20),
    win_score=100,
    tt=tt
)

game = GameOfBones( [  AI_Player( tt ), Human_Player() ] )
game.play() # you will always lose this game :)
