You need pygame and a few other libraries installed. Then simply run:
$ python ultragem.py
- Allow varying the number of gems (done)
- Allow explosions with earned special gems (column/row/9-square/all-of-color for 4-row,4-row,5-corner,5-row) (done)
- Disable some fields, two nearby explosions free them. (done)
- Implement a auto-playing bot with different strategies:
- Select a random valid move (done)
- Select the move giving immediately the highest score (most gems destroyed) (done)
- Thinking two moves ahead, select the move destroying most gems (or producing gems needed for goal) (done)
- Generate and evaluate levels with different painting strategy (done)
- Randomly choose filling of Nd disabled fields and Nw activation fields. Symmetric in x-axis.
- Randomly choose number of gems.
- Randomly choose game goal.
- Let auto-playing bot play through: (done)
- If strategy 1 succeeds >5/10 games -> trivial game.
- If strategy 1 succeeds >1/10 games and strategy 2 succeeds >5/10 games -> easy game.
- If strategy 2 succeeds >1/10 games and strategy 3 succeeds >1/10 games -> hard game.
- If strategy 3 succeeds >1/10 games -> very hard game.
- If strategy 3 succeeds >=1/50 games -> super hard game.
- If strategy 3 succeeds <1/50 games -> impossible game
- Drop trivial and impossible games.
- Define game score: (all done)
- Reach score X with at most N moves
- Destroy at least N gems of color X
- Destroy Ni special gems
- Bring 4 passive gems (rocks) to the bottom
- Activate N pre-selected fields (have two explosions there)
- Define a level specification (done)
- Level file: initial board size,state,number of colors and required goal
- Journey: directory of levels, named in sequence
- Convert auto-generated and scored levels to levels (done)
- Define goals based on bot performance
- Load/select journey on startup. Show current level number (done)
- If goal reached, player can advance to next level (done)
