Cribbage for your command line

Implementation of cribbage for two players. Text-based GUI for use on your command line (so you can appear to be working). Several kinds of opponents.

Opponents

• Random. This opponent plays a random legal move

• Expert. This opponent uses an enumerative strategy to determine the move with the greatest possible reward (points), and takes that move. The author wrote the optimal policy

• Student. This opponent is a deep neural network that has been trained via self-play using Google Keras and OpenAI Gym (see /train for details) to execute an optimal policy

Installation

Install using pip

pip install cribbage 

Or install from the source (for development, to run the tests)

git clone git@github.com:dacarlin/cribbage.git
cd cribbage
pip install . 
pytest  

How to use

From the command line, specify the kinds of players you want in the game

cribbage human random 

You can also name the players

cribbage human random --name1 Osha --name2 Otto

If you would like to try playing one of the AI opponents, you can run with the following

cribbage human expert --name1 Alne --name2 Arin

Both the Student and the Expert players achieve performance that is better than most humans.
