No one can play UNO like the computer can - yes, of course it's rigged. The odds are not in your favour. Good luck.

Understanding this repo

This repository contains code developed for a uno card game for a university project.
The project aim was to devise a strategy that would be able to defeat a naive players strategy in an uno game.
The naive strategy is to play the first card that the players sees that is a valid card in his hand of cards.
The code I developed intelligently defeats not only the naive strategy but also your average players strategy.
40 out of 700 engineering students were bold enough to submit their code to test their strategy against other students.
Out of the 40, my strategy placed somewhere in the top 20.

  2. For details of my strategy, refer to:
    "Strategy.h"

  3. For project marking criteria refer to:
    "Marking Schedule.pdf"

How to simulate a game (and maybe test your own strategy against mine):

  1. Run the simulation program.

simulation.exe

N.B.:

  • abcd001 contains the implementation of my streategy.
    abcd002, abcd003 and abcd004 are all dummy players that play the first valid card that they see in their deck.
  • If you have your own code to compete in a card game then label that file as abcd002.c (or any of the other dummy players) and watch your strategy compete against mine!

How to evaluate my code:

  1. In a Visual Studio Command Prompt window, compile the review program by typing:

cl /F review.exe /W4 review_program.obj abcd001_project2.c

  1. Run the review program:

review.exe

and choose the Task that you want to review.
