Fork of my 4th semester project at SDU. Game is migrated to Java 18 without OSGi and dynamic components. Used for the Advanced AI for Games course E23 @ SDU

modulemon-advanced-ai's Issues

More AI's to test against

We could make more AI's to test against besides SimpleAI and Minimax

• "Empty" AI which just makes empty moves and gets hit
  • HINT: Send null as the move to use.
• Random AI which just makes random moves.
  • Could be seeded so that it will make the same random moves, maybe per team or per monster

Implement MCTS

Create a new Battle AI and implement MCTS (easy)

Headless battleview

• Concurrent battles
• Only draw summary screen (Headless battles). Could show:
  • Amount of battles currently ongoing
  • Results of battles that are over
• Be able to give lists of battles to the view, that will be simulated
• Be able to choose the AI's that are battling

Make accuracy and critical hits a setting

We want to be able to enable/disable determinism in the game. Thus the newly added accuracy and critical hit calculations into settings.

Custom Battle

Make a custom battle screen (create it as a new GameView that instantiates a battle, see MapView)
Make it possible to:

• Select which monsters goes on what teams
• Who controls the teams (untill #1 is implemented, the left side can only be human)

Concept art:

Catch IllegalStateExceptions in BattleSimulation

In #7 MCTS was implemented, but sometimes throws IllegalStateException if we run into a state that shouldn't occur.
We haven't experienced any of these yet, but it would probably be better to catch these in BattleSimulation so that the game doesn't crash.
However, if this happens we need to decide if we want the AI to make no move or do a random move so the game doesn't get stuck.

Implement AI vs AI

• Simulate quick battle
• Simulate lots of quick battles (headless)
• Show summary after all quick battles

Readjust monsters speed

(Related to Issue #6 in terms of critical hits and their baseSpeed threshold calculation.

UI Update - Show types, critical hits, type advantage bonuses.

So it's easier to follow as the human watching.

More monsters

Add more monsters. Good luck making sprites™

MCTS keeps running even when the entire tree has been discovered

While making #15 , I found out that MCTS just keeps going until the time is up, regardless of what it's doing.

It should stop prematurely if it has discovered the whole tree.

Easiest setup for this is making a custom battle where the MCTS opponent has GOD. It should be done almost immediately instead of waiting for the AI Processing Time to be up.

Export CSV for headless battle simulation results

A csv file should be created when headless battleview has simulated the battles it was set to.
These results should include:

• Turns to win
• Winner
• Winner monsters
  • Name
  • HP
  • Type
• Loser monsters
  • Name
  • HP
  • Type

Random teams for headless battleview

The teams should be chosen at random so that we don't always use the same team for all battles.
This should be seeded so that we get the same teams when we try to simulate more battles

Move updates

• Accuracy moves
• Critical hits
• Stat-changing moves (Accuracy, Attack, Defence, Crit chance)

Maybe for later:

• Status effects
• Weather conditions
