Othello game framework which can be used as a platform for testing Othello AI Agents as well as just a normal Othello game.
This is an an Othello/Riversi game made in Java using JavaFX GUI Framework. The game allows you to implement and add your own AI agents which you will then be able to test and play againts. OthelloFX comes with 3 different Agent implementations purposefully excluding the usual ones such as MiniMax which you will have to implement on your own. The framework can run in multiple modes:
- Human Player vs Human Player
- Humna Player vs AI Agent
- AI Agent vs AI Agent.
Refer to the main folder in order to find the documented files you need. There you will see the User Settings file, the Agent Manager in which you will run your agent/s, as well as various example agents and implementations. Take a look at the Agent Controller for useful static methods, etc
Implement a move if necessary or use the existing implementation. A move must extend from Agent Move and implement the compareTo and the IsValid methods. In those methods you define what makes a move better than the other as well as how you define a move as valid. Take a look at Move Wrapper for an example of how a move is implemented. Only the isValid and the compareTo method are needed by the framework but as you can see you can also create your own helper methods.
Example Move class which extends from AgentMove
public class ExampleMove extends AgentMove{
public ExampleMove() {
}
@Override
public int compareTo(AgentMove move) {
return 0;
}
@Override
public boolean isValid() {
return false;
}
}Your agent must extend from the Agent which is a simple POJO containing important information used for determining how good your move algorithm performs, along with other information regarding the move search. The constructor of an AgentMove allows the turn/type to be specified as well as a name in case you wish to give your agent a name.
Example Agent class which extends from Agent
public class ExampleAgent extends Agent{
@Override
public AgentMove getMove(GameBoardState gameState) {
return yourMove();
}
}The Agent Manager is the class you will use to run your agent/s. In order to run your agent/s simply create an instance of your agent and pass it through the second parametter of the of the Othello constructor just how it is shown below. The game manager will allow you to pass one or two agents. The first agent must always be PlayerOne while the second must always be PlayerTwo. The player type is determine by the turn. Player one always starts.
Agent Manager and main launcher application
public class AgentManager extends Application{
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
new Othello(primaryStage, new ExampleAgent("Some Name", PlayerTurn.PLAYER_ONE));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}Take a look at the Agent Controller to see a variety of helper methods as well as various implementations of different dumb and smart agents. There are other utility classes which might be of help. Explore the utilities package!
The User Settings allows you to modify a variety of settings. Here you have a description of each setting.
| Property | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEEPENING | NONE, ITERATIVE, DYNAMIC | Sets the deepening style to use. |
| GAME_MODE | Ply vs Ply, Agent vs Agent, Ply vs Agent | Sets the game mode to use |
| MAX_SEARCH_TIME | 5000 milliseconds by rules | Sets the maximun allowed search time |
| MIN_SEARCH_TIME | 0 milliseconds | Sets the minimun allowed search time |
| TURN_INTERVAL | 0 milliseconds | Sets the time interval between moves |
| START_DELAY | 0 milliseconds | Sets the delay before the first move is made |
| PLAYER_ONE | Any String | Sets the name of the player one |
| PLAYER_TWO | Any String | Sets the name of the player two |
| USE_ANIMATION | true or false | Sets whether animations should be used |
| GAME_WINDOW_SCALE | 0 - 2 | Sets the scale of of the window. |
| BOARD_GRID_SIZE | 4, 6, 8 | Sets the size of the board to be used |
| THEME_INDEX | 0 - 13 | Sets the theme to be used at startup |
Things you need in order to be able to run OthelloFX
- Java 8 JDK or highter
- Download and install the any Java JDK above 8
- Clone this project using the console or your favorite IDE.
- Run from the Agent Manager and test to assure everything is working as expected
- If you run into trouble ask google for help ;)
- If google cant help you!!!! feel free to contact me at the email at the end of this page.
There are some things which I plan to add to the framework. These things will be shown here along with popular demands
- More options to the main menu so that users have more control through the interface.
- Maybe an online multiplayer option for users to test their agents remotely in competitions
