A Java-based implementation of an agent able to play the game of Tablut for the "Tablut Challenge 2021/2022" held by the University of Bologna.

Both white and black players have been implemented using a parallelized Negamax algorithm that uses the techniques of Alpha Beta pruning and transposition tables.

You need to have JDK >= 11. From Ubuntu/Debian console, you can install it with these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk -y

In order to start the white player you must run the command:

./runmyplayer white

In order to start the black player you must run the command:

./runmyplayer black

You can run players with extra parameters:

./runmyplayer <role> <timeout> <ip-address>
    
    <role> : role of the player in the game (black or white)
    <timeout> : time for the player to perform a move (default: 60, not mandatory)
    <ip-address> : ip address of the server (default: localhost, not mandatory)
