The Carbon Player Framework is a personal tool for ideas exploration about 2 players board games simulation with some decision algorithm like minimax and genetic algorithm.
Currently, the GA part is not in this project, I have to backport it from a private repository about Santorini.
Please use it for testing and fun.
Even if it's not intended to be a professional thing (it's a personal toy), I still value remarks on quality or good practices.
Please contact me, or create an issue, for any subject.
Actually, the main algorithm for choosing the next move is minimax
The GA part will be backported from a previous Santorini implementation.
Implemented to test minimax implementation.
There is only two CLI tools, one to play against CP, one to watch two CP play against each other.
One of my favourite game. The first implementation was with GA because I wanted to find which metrics influence the game.
You can use an HTML/SVG GUI with the REST API or a CLI tool to test the actual Carbon Player.
Spoiler: he is dumb, but I already sometimes lose…
Check santorini-rest-api example for a Netlify version that you can use with AWS Lambda.
You can simulate chess or tic-tac-toe, and 2 players version of Poker.
You cannot simulate “Incan Gold” for example. This is due to the actual minimax algorithm implementation.
- Control Max Plies value and then update interfaces with error return.
- Context to cancel scoring with a time limit.
- Test memoization of Nodes.
- Having an HTML GUI for Santorini with the REST API Server.
- Implement a Decision for alpha-beta pruning.
- Re implement Mutation, Tournament, etc. for GA Player (already done for Santorini in another project).
- Once Interfaces are stable, extract each game to theirs own repositories.
