blackjackai's Issues

Replace perfect threshold/calculation

Replace it with something to calculate double downs. For double down, set a leeway constant, and from that many numbers to 21, if the chance of getting a total that's in the leeway, then double down

Eg leeway = 4, so calculate the chance of getting a card that's between 17 and 21, and compare that to the threshold (eg 22% of getting anything between 17 and 21, and the threshold is 15%) then double down.

COMMENT LIKE CRAZY

The code is really ugly. We need to comment it all.

Create a UI window for stats & monitoring

When launching:
Prompt for IP and port number
Prompt for thresholds to use

During game:
Current cards
current action
Dealer's cards
Win/loss ratio
Percentage wins and losses
The threshold in use
Percent deviation from observed average (if time permits!)
Round number (how many rounds have passed)
Coins

Do some brute force testing

Make stopAI softer when it dies to permit looping through and finding best combinations of thresholds.

Update the thresholds with new numbers

So apparently there are different values that can get us better results.

ActionSelector reorganization

The current structure is... dare I say, a bit messy.

When decideMove is called, check if it's the first move by seeing how many cards you have (if there's more than two, then it's not your first move!)
If it's your first move, then do actions like checking for pairs or aces, and also double down protocol. If it's double down or aces (something special for those cases (second or third charts)), then just return whatever it is.
If it's not your first move (but don't use an else!), then use the first chart and do actions based on that.

As well, in terms of integrating card counting and other probabilities, you could call the method in different places depending on the chart that is being used... I'll do more work on it during the weekend.

Read all matching

Double buffer the thing Ugh

Update IO

The current IO protocol is pretty outdated; update!

Test the double down correction

Under run my turn (?) just return double down and see what happens.

Adjust thresholds on the fly

JSpinners and de-finalize the constants.
