I just upload the source code to the Cowzow bot, written by Dan Zou for theaigames.com, to the github repo. (https://github.com/FizzerWL/WarLight.AI)

This brings the total number of bots to three: Wunderwaffe, Prod, and Cowzow.



Cowzow doesn't know how to play cards yet, but I matched it against Wunderwaffe On Strategic 1v1 settings without cards and it won 483 games to Wunderwaffe's 137. It's also much faster than Wunderwaffe (although I didn't time it, it feels at least 5x faster) and significantly less code.

That being said, when I look at its play I still see many poor choices it makes, so there's still a lot of room for improvement.

Feel free to try it out and see what you think. Does anyone feel like debugging through it to understand how it works?

I will definitely check this out right away.... during spring break next week when I have time!

Cool.

Hey, I'm not a lot into the new AI thing and stuff. But I'd like to test it, so can anyone explain me how can I set a game against the new AI?

Hey, your port of the Wunderwaffe was broken. Before a comparison stuff needs to get fixed first.

TeamGuns, here: https://www.warlight.net/blog/index.php/2016/02/the-warlight-ai-goes-open-source/

Also, did you say we might be getting GreenTea too?

cool

Where can we play against this new AI?

Ragnarok: read the AI open source blog post (the video mostly), it tells you how to set it up.

How do I play against this bot?

Did you find something in the code that's broken? Feel free to fix it and make a pull request.

How do I play against this bot?

The same way as the other bots, just specify "Cowzow" in place of the bot's name.

If you're new to the project, read the blog post. Note that this project is aimed at developers, so it's expected that you know at least some basic C#

when will u replace the standart bot with some decent 1 fizz?

once one decent bot is done.

@TeHagoPedazos
If u tiped propery ppl mite undertand wot u r sayeng.

Making an AI is similar to training a dog. If the owner of a dog is emotionally unstable or isn't intelligent as a trainer/owner, the dog will likely end up unstable and less intelligent. Likewise, if the programmer of an AI doesn't understand WL strategies and ideas very well, the AI probably will end up rather weak. Ideally, programmers would team up with active top players to make a better AI.

Well, I would hope that would be the case...

If ever I get round to starting this I would likely match it up against good humans (once it was at a reasonable state) to get feedback for better strategy for it. I think in the end it benefits them in the long run too.

I copy + pasted Fizzers github repository into my own: https://github.com/Norman1/WarLightAI
Here I'm doing the fixes to Wunderwaffe. So far nobody has showed interest beyond "general interest".

I'm currently still fixing stuff. Just as a random example both Wunderwaffe and cowzow are supposed to have some heuristics to determine what is going on behind the fog. However you removed my FogRemover component so a completely blind Wunderwaffe is playing against a seeing cowzow. I played the bots against each other with the standard test settings, with the exception that I removed the fog. Their current results are a 12 -2 win rate of Wunderwaffe vs cowzow.

This looks like bunch of fun :) im finishing my Bs'c in computer science in May after that ill dig in :)
