The Game of Hex: Deep Neural Networks and Tree Search

Note: the full version of this code was lost on my laptop, so the program is currently in a non-working state

Overview

This program replicates the structure of AlphaGo when playing Hex, a board game invented by John Nash and Piet Hein. The program is written in Python and uses the TensorFlow library.

Setup

1. Install Python 3.6 or later.
2. Install TensorFlow. This can be done by running the following command:

pip install tensorflow

3. Download the source code for the program.

git clone https://github.com/wkaisertexas/SF-Project-HEX

Usage

Run the program by executing the following command:

python main.py

Features

This program contains an interactive mode which allows the user to play against the AI as well as train their own.

Awards

I am proud to share that this program won the Physical Sciences Grand Award at the [Name of the Science Fair/Competition] in 9th grade. The project was recognized for its innovative approach to replicating the structure of AlphaGo when playing Hex using TensorFlow and Python. The program was developed by William Kaiser.
