fliife / genetic-2048 Goto Github PK

Note: This is no longer maintained, and the neural network does not learn. This was a failed attempt to Machine learning

This project is an attempt to make a computer learn how to play 2048, and hopefully extend this learning ability to other games.

It works using both neural networks, and genetic evolution. It starts knowing nothing of the game, and by trial and error, random mutations and evolution, learns how to get better.

Since this project relies on 2048 and reinforcejs, I didn't want to include their code directly into my repository (which would make it look like it is mine). Instead, I made them submodules.

You need to have nodejs and npm installed, preferably system-wide.

It is necessary you have git installed on your machine. Using github's Download as zip feature won't work (See Step 2).

Clone the repository with :

git clone --recursive https://github.com/FliiFe/genetic-2048.git

or, if you have an SSH key :

git clone --recursive [email protected]:FliiFe/genetic-2048.git

Don't forget to include the --recursive part in the clone command ! If you don't, you won't get the submodules ! If you forgot to include it, please refer to step 2

You can install the node dependencies with

npm install

And you can get the submodules by running this if you did not include --recursive in your clone command :

git submodule update --init

Grunt is an automation tool, which allows to build and run a project with one command.

You can install it with

npm install -g grunt

On Linux systems, make sure you execute this command with root privileges (e.g sudo)

You can run the project with grunt, without arguments :

grunt

Once you have started the server, all file changes will trigger a build and a reload on the webpage.

If you want to export the project, just run grun build and export the build directory.

The server will run on localhost, on port 8080. You can change the port in the Gruntfile.

If you want to build without serving files, use

grunt build
