AI and Engine pack: Classic Board Games

AI and Engine pack for Classic Board Games contains 10 classic two-player board games:

• Amazons
• Archimedes
• Breakthrough
• Checkers
• Connect4
• Dodgem
• Lines of Action
• Nim
• Reversi
• Tic Tac Toe

All games work well as minigames or challenges in a bigger game! You only need to implement the front-end; the engine handles the rest. Each game has different difficulty levels for the AIs, and many of the games can be customized by changing parameters such as the board size.

The Engines

All engines are implemented in C# and have the game's board and state easily accessible through public enumerations. The engines also include handy functionality such as Undo.

Each game has a unique AI with lightweight heuristic computation, allowing fast computation times, even on low-end devices. The engines always call the AI in a separate thread to ensure that the main thread won't get busy.

AIs

The AIs can be used separately to ask for a move or simply by letting the engine do its job! If you wish to provide a player with hints on the next actions, the AIs can help you with that as well! Interacting with the AIs happens simply through the MakeMove()-method!

Documentation

The documentation includes rules for all games and script reference for all the necessary methods.

Demos

Demo implementations for all games are included in the demo scene and can also be found as presets in their respective folders. The demo also includes assets such as textures for game pieces, enabling fast proof-of-concept development. You are free to use these demos as is or modify them to suit your needs.
