About

Started as an open assignment for school, but I intend to polish it further with easier setup and genetic algorithms to further hone the heuristic function. Currently it's intended for Jstris, a specific skin (10th in the list) needs to be applied, aswell as disabling ghost pieces. Switch out the agent used in the main function of the game_server.py

Requirements

• CMake needs to be installed
• Check the top of the game_server.py file to correct the platform
• Not tested on Linux

Steps

1. Create env

python -m venv .venv

2. Activate env Windows (git bash)

source .venv\Scripts\Activate

Mac

source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Compile (requires cmake)

chmod +x build_project.sh
./build_project.sh

If you get an error, try following the steps in the script manually

5. Run

python game_server.py

Frequent Problems - Will be fixed down the line

The first boot, it's best to have a game running, with an empty board (pieces clip the top and right side of the board) and wait for "Board Setup Complete" message.

• Import "build2.agents" could not be resolved: Windows creates an extra folder, change to build2.Release.agents
• Agent playing weird: Make sure the current piece isn't stuck inside the top of the board while it scans at start
• Agent not playing at all: Piece colors might be off, unfortuantely the fix is getting the values using a color picker and updating the code in game_server.py
• Agent not playing at all: Input mapping might be wrong, check the input mapping in the game_server.py
