AI program meant for checkers contest as an exam for Fundamentals of AI course at NaUKMA

This is a client-server application, that is why you need to run them separately in different terminals:

Command to run the server: python3 server.py Command to run the client: python3 client.py --production

1. Creating a board game_drawing.py, connecting to the bot_production.py server, testing bot_test.py - Perch O.
2. The first version of the MinMax algorithm with alpha-beta prunning Solver.py, Heuristic.py, testing, client.py - Orel D.
3. Algorithm modification, testing the coefficients of heuristics - Orel D., Perch O.

1. Install python 3 and pip from https://www.python.org/downloads/.
2. (Optional) Use virtualenv for python in order to install modules in project directory only and not to collect trash in your OS.
3. In project folder run pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Run such commands in separate terminals to see the game in action:
   4.1. python3 server.py - to start the checkers' back-end.
   4.2. python3 client.py --prooduction - to open the checkers' client player 1 connection.
   4.3. Another python3 client.py --prooduction - to open the checkers' client player 2 connection.
   

If you have both python 2 and python 3 in your OS, you may want to use python3 for commands stated above.

Note: Default server host/port is 127.0.0.1:8081. If you want to run server on non-default host/port, you may change any of these values at src/server/config/checkers.yaml.
