Our goal in this repository is to create the classes and algorithms necessary to create an AI Euchre player and an interface that a human player can utilize to engage with that AI.

There are three files in this repository with various functionalities. These files are: (1) Game.py (a class that holds all of the items relevantto the game) (2) Euchre.py (this holds the artifical intelligence player and the functions related to that) and (3) manual_player.py (that holds all of the functions that enable a human to play with the AI). The game file is the largest class, a game holds four player classes that can be any combination of manual players and AI players.

Has an optional attribute "orig" that can enable a child class to be created with many of the same characteristics as the parent class.

Attributes: (1) -Team1Score - Number (2) -Team2Score - Number (3) -Player1 - a player class (manual or AI) (4) -Player2 - a player class (manual or AI) (5) -Player3 - a player class (manual or AI) (6) -Player4 - a player class (manual or AI) (7) -whoCalled - number of the team who called a round (8) -NumTricksTeam1 - number (9) -NumTricksTeam2 - number (10) -Dealer - number (11) -offering - a string representing the first card offered (12) -trump - a letter representing the trump suit (13) -trump2 - a string representing the trump suit (14) -VisibleCards - a list of all cards seen so far (15) -BuriedCards - a list of all cards that are invisible (16) -Order - a list with the ordering of the players

Functions: (1) -assign_cards - shuffles a deck and passes out five cards to each player (2) -initalize - prints out the steup of the game and goes through the first steps necessary to call a suit (3) -get_order - assigns ordering based on the dealer (4) -order_next_trick - gets a new ordering of players based on who won the previous trick (5) -getChild - creates a child that is the same as the current class (6) -scoreRound - Based on the tricks won and who called the suit scores the round (7) -updateNumTricks - after everyone has played sees who won the trick (8) -score_Cards_Trick - a helper function that get's the scores of all the cards in the trick (9) -play_trick - prints the statements and runs the functions necessary for a given trick (10) -play_round - prints the statements and runs the functions necessary for a given round (11) -play_game - prints the statements and runs the functions necessary for a given game (12) -play_game_fast - runs multiple games to compare the different algorithms

This file holds the class of our AI euchre playing agent. It has the following attributes and functions:

Attributes: (1) hand - a list of cards available to play (2) name - a string for its name (3) partner - to hold the class of the player who is its partner (4) maxDepth - number for AB pruning (5) team_number - either team one or two (6) P1_WIN_SCORE - for AB pruning (1000) (7) P2_WIN_SCORE - for AB pruning (-1000) (8) tricks - a list of lists of four cards to hold all of the tricks that have been one

Functions: (1) score_cards - given a trump suit, returns a dictionary of the scores for cards (2) initial_offering - given a trump card and a dealer, determines if the dealer should pick it up or not (3) second_chance - given a trump card and a dealer, determines if they should call a suit after the offering card has been turned over (4) pick_it_up - for the dealer in the instance that they are forced to pick up a card (5) getAllValidMoves - given a lead suit and a trump suit determines what can be played (6) play_heuristic - for AB pruning and Minimax, scores the game (7) play_simple - our simple heuristic function that always plays the highest card (8) play_random - plays a random playable card (9) minimax - plays as the minimax algorithm (10) findPlay - calls the minimax algorithm (11) alphaBeta - plays as the alpha-beta algorithm, (12) findPlay2 - calls the alphaBeta algorithm (13) MonteCarlo - plays the montecarlo algorithm

This file holds the functions and attributes of the manual player:

Attributes: (1) hand - a list of cards available to play (2) name - a string for its name (3) partner - to hold the class of the player who is its partner (4) team_number - either team one or two (5) tricks - a list of lists of four cards to hold all of the tricks that have been one

Functions: (1) play - asks the player to play a card (2) score_cards - gets a dictionary to determine the playable cards and to be compatable with the minimax algorithm (3) findPlay - also neededfor the minimax algorithm, just asks the dealer what to play (4) findPlay2 - calls findPlay - necessary for the alphabeta algorithm from the Euchre.py (5) MonteCarlo - calls findPlay - necessary for the montecarlo function (6) Initial_offering - asks the user to call a suit. (7) getAllValidMoves - important for checking what the user can play (8) second_chance - for the second round of calling suits
