A Real-Time Strategy Game for AI development that runs through NodeJS.

Installation

npm install
Run a command

Commands

`npm run evo [name]`

Runs a coveolutionary algorithm to evolve strategies. The optional parameter lets you provide a name of the experiment. When provided, statistics and found strategies will be stored in dump/<name>.

`npm start [name] [name2]`

Plays a game between two strategies and serves the replay at localhost:3000

The two optional arguments lets you decide which strategies will be used.

If <name> is not provided, randomly generated strategies will be used.
If only <name> is provided, and not <name2> the strategies chosen will be the two first strategies from population in dump/<name>/strategies.js.
If both <name> and <name2> are provided, the strategies chosen will be the first strategy from population in dump/<name>/strategies.js and the first first strategy from population in dump/<name2>/strategies.js.

The way strategeis are chosen can be changed in cli.js, and you if you want you may hard-code which strategies to use in that file, e.g. by copy-pasting the entire strategies into cli.js.

Example

Run an experiment called "my-experiment". When done, show simulations of games between the two best solutions from the experiment.

npm run evo my-experiment
npm run start my-experiment
