My bot's source code for CodinGame's Fall Challenge 2020.
This was the first time I joined a CodinGame competition.
It was a challenging and fun introduction to writing an AI that competes with others in a turn-based game.
I wrote a brute force tree search algorithm that autonomously adjusts its max. search depth based on which depth it hit a target.
It was able to search about 45K game states within the turn's time limits.
At the end of the turn it compared all shortest combinations of moves that would lead to having sufficient ingredients to brew a potion, and choose the most optimal one.
With this approach I managed to finish at position #421 in the Gold League.
