To run the program, simply execute the game.py file. This will launch the game interface.
Upon running the program, a window will appear with several buttons under the title "Choose game mode." Here's what each button does:
- Human Player: Allows you to play the game manually using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
- Ai player minimax: Initiates a game where the AI player uses the Minimax algorithm.
- Ai player expectimax: Initiates a game where the AI player uses the Expectimax algorithm.
- Ai player expectimax epsilon: Initiates a game where the AI player uses the Expectimax with Epsilon algorithm.
- Ai player expectibetter: Initiates a game where the AI player uses the Expectibetter algorithm.
When playing against one of the AI players, the game will generate a file named game_stats.csv. This file contains statistics regarding the gameplay, including:
- Algorithm used
- Number of moves made
- Final score achieved
- Number of nodes expanded during gameplay
- Number of 2048 tiles obtained
- Number of 1024 tiles obtained
- Number of 512 tiles obtained
- Number of 128 tiles obtained
- Number of 64 tiles obtained
These statistics can be useful for analyzing the performance of different AI algorithms.
