You are to complete the function win(player,Board), which determines whether there are five consecutive tokens with value Player anywhere on Board. ( This was a class exercise.)

Starting in Europe for instance will have you pointlessly managing in the lower leagues without getting any closer to your goals, as the best clubs here have big reputations and will find it hard to employ a manager with little to no experience to lead them. heuristics for the states. Then we can increase the winning row to 4, and eventually to 5. Training can be done using deep learning by playing Some other approaches that I have tried is Monte Carlo and Minimax with limited depth. Monte Carlo Approach Mindtwister USA. "A Little Bit of Mindtwisting Pentago History." (March 12, 2012) http://pentago.com/about-us/Start in low reputation regions. As already mentioned, starting in Europe where clubs have big reputations will have you wallowing in the depths of lower league football while trying to increase your reputation. Instead, start in Africa or Asia, where it is easier to get a job despite having a low reputation at the start. On the other hand, sometimes playing defense for a few moves creates opportunities for you that your opponent may miss because he/she can get too busy trying to run the game. As mentioned in previous section, one reason that Minimax is not used at the beginning of the program is that a manually adjusted heuristic need and after 8 turns, we can switch to the Minimax that computes till the end of the game. In this way, we can make sure that the opponent does not

and compute until the game ends is that no heuristics is required for each state. The disadvantage is that Minimax can not be started from the It is impossible to use Minimax on the whole game since the tree will become too large to build and impossible to search for the correct state in 2 In general, the motivation is to implement the Minimax algorithm due to its dominant performance on tic-tac-toe. However, after evaluating the time Although this may seem like an effortless objective, players must contend with the added challenge of continually moving marbles: After placing each marble, the players must rotate one of the four quadrants 90 degrees in either direction (with a couple exceptions, which we'll explain in another section), and this adds layers of action, suspense and spatial challenge to the game. You can go from the edge of defeat to the verge of victory with each turn. And because Pentago is a fast-moving game that can be played in a matter of minutes, and since it lends itself to best-out-of-five-type tournaments, these dramatic moments come fast and frequent. techniques to train a heuristics. We can first set the winning rule to be 3 piece in a row for the first several turns to get some reasonableThe provided program provides a specific representation for the game, players and moves. Your are to provide a heuristic for evaluating game states, a function that determines if a game state represents a win for a given player, and a minimax routine with several-move lookahead, board evaluation makes a clone of the boardState. Then, it simulate all legal moves in the cloned boardState to see if the next move can lead to a win. The program AI can do. For each legal move, we iterate again over all legal moves that the opponent is allowed to make. If there exists a winning move for A 180 degree (double "notch") twist is not allowed. The twist is the key to create winning positions in Pentago.

I have noticed that Minimax algorithm with good heuristics have excellent performance if the state heuristic is well set. You'll want to really watch your opponents position as it relates to yours and play as much defensive as you do offense. At the end of the day, the most important thing is having fun while playing the game. Therefore, should the rules feel too restricting, you can always tweak them so that they suit what you are trying to do. the opponent when we chose this move, we abandon this move. If after iterating all our moves, and there exists a winning move for the opponent in

before the opponent does (Figure 2). The row can be vertical, horizontal and diagonal. As shown in Figure 3, at each turn, a player needs If you are looking for a long-term save that does not necessarily tie you down to a single club, but will instead have you often switching clubs trying to find one that offers you the best chance at silverware, then the Pentagon Challenge might be what you are looking for. A tie can occur if both players have played all marbles and neither player has five-in-a-row. A tie can also occur if one player twists his/her marbles into a row of five, but also creates a row of five for the opponent.

Disable the in-game editor. The use of the in-game editor is also not allowed as it gives you an unfair advantage when it comes to making transfers, scouting, and finances. To win the game, be the first to place five marbles in a row -- vertically, horizontally or diagonally, spanning two or three quadrants. technicality, my solutions looks like this: -- |Tree with values only in leaves data LeafValueTree e v = Node [( e , LeafValueTree e v )] | Leaf v -- |ScoreMoveTree type SMTree e v = LeafValueTree e v maximize :: ( Bounded v , Ord v ) => SMTree e v -> ( v , Maybe e )Any support routines you write which are used by your heuristic should also be named with the prefix userid_, and be placed in this file. In this project, the goal is to implement an AI to play the game Pentago-Swap. The Pentago-Swap is a instance of Moku family of games. The disadvantage is that the opponent may very likely win within 8 turns with very smart algorithm. The defensive play before 8 turns is only and piece location, and implement Minimax to a certain depth. The weights at each depth is defined by the heuristics but not winning or losing. The AI created by the students are subjects to a competition at the end. There are some constraints to the competition:
