A gomoku AI based on Alpha Zero paper.

• Keras
• Tensorflow(as keras backend)
• Flask(For browser frontend)

requirements.txt is included in the root folder, type pip install -r requirements.txt in shell to auto install requirements.

There's no trained model included in repo at the moment. So you need to manually train your own model.

Run python autotrain.py to start training. Based on config, a number of games will be played during single training phase, and then all available game history will be used as training input. After the model training, some old game history will be removed.

You can configure settings in ./configs/normal.py

Config info is under ./configs/normal.py. Most configs are commented so it's easy to understand.

Run python playwithme.py To start play with AI, using a ugly cmd interface.

If you have Flask installed, runpython app.py and a Flask backend will start, which accepts ajax requests.

Open ./BrowserUI/index.html, and you can play with AI. DO NOT OPEN localhost or 127.0.0.1 in your browser, nothing will happen, since app.py is only a backend which receives requests.

If you've changed the game board size, you need to edit the var rowNum in line 3 of ./BrowserUI/index.js to match your game board size during training.
