This is an implementation of the Fanorona board game as a PettingZoo AEC game. The rules have been sourced from here. An additional rule where games exceeding $44$ moves end in a draw has been implemented, since the original rules do not have explicit draw conditions.

Installation

Using pip (recommended)

python -m pip install fanorona-aec

Local

git clone https://github.com/AbhijeetKrishnan/fanorona-aec.git
cd fanorona-aec
python -m pip install .

Usage

Setting up a basic environment

In a Python shell, run the following:

from fanorona_aec import fanorona_v3
env = fanorona_v3.env()

See demo.py for a script that implements a simple random policy to interact with the environment.

Testing

We use pytest for tests. You can run them via:

git clone https://github.com/AbhijeetKrishnan/fanorona-aec.git
cd fanorona-aec
python -m pip install .[dev]
