Detailed Description

The main interface class for the SimulatedGame reasoner based on the MCTS algorithm. The class supports definition of a game, running simulations and obtaining results.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SimulatedGame()

grail::simulation::SimulatedGame::SimulatedGame	(	int	teamCount = `2`,
		double	maxScore = `1.0`,
		double	explorationBoost = `1.0`,
		size_t	freezeVisitsTreshold = `std::numeric_limits<size_t>::max()`,
		RandomGenerator::result_type	seed = `std::random_device{}()`
	)

Constructs a new SimulatedGame object. This object can be reused.

Parameters

teamCount	This is the number of intelligent players in the game. Each team shares the score that is given when the game ends.
maxGameScore	The maximum score that can be awarded to a team when the game ends. This value does not need to be given precisely or even correctly. However, the closer to the correct maximum value, the better for the algorithm's efficiency.
explorationBoost	A modifier that affects how much exploration of state-space is boosted compared to the default value of 1. Values lower than 1.0 will reduce the exploration. Values lower than 0.1 will be clamped to 0.1.
freezeVisitsTreshold	When a certain state is visited at least this number of times, then the best action so far will be fixed as the final chosen action (no more exploration here).///
seed	Initialization seed to the random number generator.

Returns: Returns a reference to the added unit.

◆ AddUnit() [2/2]

SimulatedGameThinkingUnit & grail::simulation::SimulatedGame::AddUnit ( std::shared_ptr< SimulatedGameThinkingUnit > unit )

Adds a new regular unit to the game.

Returns: Returns a reference to the added unit.

◆ AddUnits()

void grail::simulation::SimulatedGame::AddUnits ( std::vector< std::shared_ptr< SimulatedGameThinkingUnit >> units )

Adds new regular units to the game.

◆ ClearStatistics()

void grail::simulation::SimulatedGame::ClearStatistics ( )
