Stanford CS221 - Artificial Intelligence: Principles and Techniques

Chinese Chess AI

Li
This is my Course Project for CS221 at Stanford in 2016 Autumn.

This project aims to implement an AI game engine for Chinese chess, which is a popular board game in China. A simulator with web interface and server is designed. User can play against with the computer, and can also watch different strategies playing against each other with live analysis.

Simulator

Web is used as the game interface for its flexibility and user-friendliness. Two games modes can be selected by the user:

Human Mode

and

Simulation Mode

. In

Human Mode

, human player plays against the computer with selected strategy and search depth. Clicking on a piece, the legal moves for that piece are highlighted. In

Simulation Mode

, two policies play against each other for multiple games by the computer, with selected policy and search depth for each team. Live winning rate for each team for all the games played so far is plotted below for comparison and analysis.
