This is a quick project I spun up in order to play games of Isolation with classmates at Georgia Tech's AI course. As part of this course, we built an AI to play Isolation. However, we are not allowed to share code with each other, so there was no way to play against each other. This project is a simple flask server that will facilitate clients creating games and sending moves to each other without exposing their inner logic.
- Install requirements with
pip install -r requirements_client.txt - Bring in your
submission.pyfrom the assignment, modify it to import Board from server_isolation. - Modify variables in client_config.py
- Import your bot from the assignment and set it to DEFAULT_PLAYER_CLASS.
- Host a game with
python client.py --host --name <your name> --time_limit <time_limit (s)>- This will give you an ID you can send to someone to join, or that someone can read on Discord.
- Some other options:
--start_board <start_board>: The board to start the game with. Can be "DEFAULT", "CASTLE", or a JSON string of an NxM array of spaces and X's--secret: If toggled, your code won't be posted on Discord. Good if you want someone specific to join.--no_discord: If toggled, your game won't be broadcast on Discord.--num_random_turns <num_random_turns>: If set, the game will start with agents making N random moves in the beginning--num_rounds <num_rounds>: If set, the game will play N rounds of the game with the same settings--player_to_use <player_namee>: If set, the game will use the player set in client_config.py with that name, instead of the DEFAULT_PLAYER_CLASS
- Join a game with
python client.py --join --name <name> --game_id <game_id> - Observe a game with
python client.py --observe --game_id <game_id>(or just watch on Discord).
- Install requirements with
pip install -r requirements.txt - Get the
server_secrets.pyvariables from someone and set them in your OS variables - Run the server locally with
python application.py, or host it wherever. I had success with AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
