GMStrategist: AI Toolkit for GameMaker Studio 2.x

Overview

GMStrategist is an open-source library that aims to implement common AI algorithms for GameMaker Studio. This facilitates the development of puzzle, board game and other turn-based AIs.

Currently Supported Algorithms:

MCTS: A highly configurable and flexible tree-search algorithm capable of general gameplay. This method is best suited for new games without established theory and/or an obvious means of valuation.
Minimax: The classic heuristic tree-search algorithm. This method is best suited for games with established theory or an obvious means of valuation.

Requirements

GameMaker Studio 2.2 and above

Installation
