Game Theory Mancala Contest Applet
This applet lets you test the different algorithms
against each other.
Just put the name of the algorithm to be used on each side in the text
boxes. Start initializes the game with the given algorithms. One Move
moves the game forward one turn. Run plays both sides automatically
until someone wins. Switch just swaps the text in the text boxes to save
typing if you want to play a 2-game match.
The algorithms you can use:
Human: The game will prompt you for
moves on this algorithm's turns, allowing you to play the game yourself.
Random: The game will make a completely random move on its turn.
Godfrey, Brown,
Spence, Ivester, Wineland, Guin, Davis, Mullins, Ryno, and Bales: The algorithms
submitted to the contest.
