🎨 Custom AI Players

Create your own AI opponents using YAML configuration files—no programming required!

cp config/players/00_AI_CONFIG_TEMPLATE.yaml config/players/enabled/my_ai.yaml
# Edit the configuration file
reversi42  # Your player is automatically discovered!

Move Variety (Temperature): Control how deterministic your AI plays:

• temperature: 0.0 - Always plays the best move (deterministic)
• temperature: 0.1-0.3 - Mostly best moves, occasional variety
• temperature: 0.4-0.5 - High variety for more unpredictable gameplay
• Auto-calculated based on depth (lower depth = higher temperature)
