Analysis of first-player advantage - th5555 - 03-06-2022
Hello,
In my opinion, it would be very nice if Ludii could add an automatic analysis of the balance of a game, i.e. the first- or second-player advantage (if any), using AI playouts. Besides being in itself an interesting property of existing games, it could be helpful during new game design as well.

Hi,
This functionality is already available in Ludii
If you select "Analysis -> Evaluation Dialog" from the Ludii menu (Ctrl+E), You will be shown a dialog with various boxes for setting the number of trials, turns and AI algorithm you wish to use.
Clicking "Evaluate" will then perform analysis using these settings for the currently loaded game, with the results printed in the Analysis tab.
These results include the win-rates for both player 1 and player 2.
Cheers,
Matthew
