7 Wonders Agent:A Proposal Computer Science Thesis Proposal Fall 2012 Ben Gardiner Advisor: Prof. Haiyan Cheng
Outline • Introduction and Motivation • Background • Rules for 7 Wonders • Project Proposal • Timeline
Introduction • Look to inspiration from previously taken classes. • Machine Learning class focused on artificial intelligence, through the game Go. • Games other than Go are more interesting to me. • Goal: Combine love of games with senior research project.
Motivation • Use model to represent decisions. • Gameplay provides an ideal model for decisions. • Creating an AI that plays a game is simpler than creating an AI for a real-world task.
Modified Rules Proposal • Have 3 “Generations” of modified rules. • Write the agent for the simplest rule set. • Augment the agent for each more complicated rule set. • Use the Monte-Carlo tree search approach.
Simplified Rules • Ignore the “Wonder” • Players cannot “Buy” resources from neighbors
Simplified Rules 2 • Purchase Resources from Neighbors
Final (Full) Rules • Wonder can be built • Cards can be built for free
