pbrain-reiner (AlphaBeta AI) is the better AI.

pbrain-reiner

A Python Piskvork with Alpha-Beta Pruning

pbrain-reiner is the technical core of a "brain" (AI) for Piskvork gomoku manager used in Gomocup AI tournament, written in Python.

The code is basically the "Python Improvement" of C++ template written by Petr Lastovicka. This README is also partially copy of the C++ template's README.

Prerequisites and compilation

The Piskvork manager is a Win32 application and currently supports only Win32 compatible .exe files (furthermore whose name starts with pbrain- prefix). There are several ways how to create .exe from Python files.

Here I present the approach using PyInstaller and Windows command line:

1. Install Windows (or Wine for Linux and macOS, originally the project was created and tested on Windows 10 x64)

2. Install Python (the code and also following instructions were tested with version 3.8.5-64bit(conda)).

3. Install pywin32 Python package: pip.exe install pypiwin32 (if not present "by default")

4. Install PyInstaller: pip.exe install pyinstaller (Version 4.2)

To compile the example, use the following command line command:

cd C:\path\where\the\files\were\saved
pyinstaller.exe example.py pisqpipe.py --name pbrain-reiner.exe --onefile

Note: the executables pip.exe and pyinstaller.exe might need full path.

pbrain-mcts

A Python Piskvork with MCTS with UCT RAVE

To compile the example, use the following command line command:

cd C:\path\where\the\files\were\saved
pyinstaller.exe example.py pisqpipe.py --name pbrain-mcts.exe --onefile

Note: the executables pip.exe and pyinstaller.exe might need full path.

• Python 3.7.0 with PyInstaller 4.1 MIGHT have better performance.

• Packaging using Nuitka MIGHT have better performance.

• However, Python 3.8.5 with PyInstaller 4.2 is currently the stablest suit.
