How to use

1. Install

pip install --upgrade santorinai

You can also clone the repository and install it manually:

git clone https://github.com/Tomansion/SantorinAI.git
cd SantorinAI
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Create a player

Create an override of the Player class in the santorinai.player.py file.

from santorinai.player import Player

class MyPlayer(Player):
    """
    My player description
    """

    def name(self):
        return "My player name"

    # Placement of the pawns
    def place_pawn(self, board, pawn):
        my_pawn_number = pawn.number # Between 1 and 6 depending on the game mode
        my_player_number = pawn.player_number # Between 1 and 3 depending on the game mode

        # Do some magic here to choose a position
        my_choice = (2, 3) # A position on the 5x5 board

        return my_choice

    # Movement and building
    def play_move(self, board, pawn):
        my_pawn_pos = pawn.pos

        board_array = board.board # A 5x5 array of integers representing the board
        # 0: empty
        # 1: tower level 1
        # 2: tower level 2
        # 3: tower level 3
        # 4: terminated tower

        pawns = board.pawns # The other pawns on the board

        # Do some magic here to choose a position
        my_move_position = ( # Moving top right
            my_pawn_pos[0] + 1, 
            my_pawn_pos[1] + 1
        ) 

        my_build_position = ( # Building right (relative to the new position)
            my_move_position[0] + 1, 
            my_move_position[1] + 0
        ) 

        return my_move_position, my_build_position

Check our random players example in our player examples folder to help you create your own.

3. Test your player

from santorinai.tester import Tester
from santorinai.player_examples.random_player import RandomPlayer
from my_player import MyPlayer

# Init the tester
tester = Tester()
tester.verbose_level = 2 # 0: no output, 1: Each game results, 2: Each move summary
tester.delay_between_moves = 0.1 # Delay between each move in seconds
tester.display_board = True # Display a graphical view of the board in a window

# Init the players
my_player = MyPlayer()
random_payer = RandomPlayer()

# Play 100 games
tester.play_1v1(my_player, random_payer, nb_games=100)

Output example:

Results:
Player Randy Random won 10 times
Player My player won 70 times
