Computer Science

I came across a term, “information camouflage” that I find incredibly interesting.

Sometime when I was in 7th grade, at Ophelia Parrish Junior High school, a couple of guys that I knew showed me Northeast Missouri State University’s teletypes.

I have four algorithms in my second attempt at writing algorithmic “players” for the game of Squava:

1. Alpha-beta minimaxing
2. Alpha-beta minimaxing with a better static evaluation function
3. Monte Carlo Tree Search
4. Monte Carlo Tree Search with UCT child selection

At this point, all but plain MCTS (#3 above) regularly beat me. How do my programmatic squava players do against each other?

I made a weird third guess due to coffee deficiency.

NYT Wordlebot claimed I had two choices after my 3rd guess. Let’s see if it’s correct.
