Filler Project

Project Overview

Filler is a 42 Project to learn about AI and also a joint collaboration between Ben and I on the UI. The goal is to be the last player to put a piece, that can have any size and shape, sent by the Virtual Machine. To put a piece it needs to overlap ONE player's cell and only ONE and not overlap any of the challengers cells.

Strategy

• Strategy is to check relative position compared to challenger.
• Then get close enough from challenger, surround it while maintaining enough distance.
• Once surrounded put pieces the closer we can.

Features

• Original VM has been slightly modified in order to send the challenger's name to display it on the UI.
• Colors of the board gradually change from green to blue for player 1 and from red to purple for its challenger.
• inside the squares of player 1 we get the color of player 2.
• [not yet implemented] we can see previous state

Credits

• Many Thanks to my dear friend Ben for all the hard work on the User Interface. Please take 5mn to play its awesome Wolf3d project ;)
