Course Projects 

  Project: Building a Othello Game with Game Tree and Alpha-Beta Pruning

Problem statement:

Build a Othello game which enables a game between two program with AI implementations. To extend the space for creativity, the checker for Othello game has been extended to 16 * 16.

 

Project requirement: (detailed requirement)

  • Represent the game tree appropriately
  • Design 2 heuristic evaluation functions for the game tree, each of which is registered as xxxxxxx-1 and xxxxxxx-2
  • The AI should be able to response at the given time limited (otherwise, it would lose the game)
  • Writting the report discussing the reason for your design of the two functions and the difference in terms of the performance of them in the game

Hand-in materials include:

  • The report
  • Source code
