Set up and running tests - JacksonToR - 07-11-2021
Hi, I'm currently a second year undergrad student and am currently conducting some research for a program. I'm currently very new to Java and was wondering if there was a comprehensive guide as to how to set up my own AI (yes I've read up on the github on example ai and am just struggling with the whole set up of java project / .jar compiling?/ where I should place my AI and .jar files) and then running a large amount of tests and recording them to see the effectiveness of my AI against other AIs.

I've found this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MhBMEXO8IU&ab_channel=Ludii which was very helpful, however after following the steps exactly, when it tried to load the ai from JAR, nothing would happen (the window to select AI did not pop up) and it would automatically go back to human v human.

Could you share a .jar file that you built like this, containing your custom AI, so I can inspect it and see why it may not work? I'm not 100% sure if the forums allow you to upload .jar files as attachments. If not, I suppose you could upload it in a public dropbox directory or google drive or any other file hosting service like that.

Hi,
Just to clarify, for the newer versions of Ludii after selecting the "From JAR" option in the player preferences, you also need to click the "Apply" button.
After this, you should be asked to select your AI jar file.
Cheers,
Matthew

Hi,
We highly recommend using Eclipse and not IntelliJ to work on any code related to Ludii.

Hi,
Do you mean you wish to select two agents for a game, and then have those two agents play that game 1000 times?
Cheers,
Matthew
