Today we talked about what is a game. The definition we used is: Ludus, Paida, and Narrative. We also talked about Game Trees and how computers think about games.

Your assignment is as follows:

• In Processing make a Rock Paper Scissors game.
• First, draw out the finite state machine (FSM).
• Try to make the Game AI such that the computer always plays Scissors.
• Then make an AI where the computer plays random.
• Then make an AI where the computer tries to learn your patterns and beats you.
• (Extra) Make your own sprites: http://www.piskelapp.com/
• (Extra COOL) Make it so that I can select which of the three AI's I'm playing (make a button for each AI).

Note: You can use buttons or keys to represent user input. The choice is yours.

Same idea as before:

• Draw the FSM
• Player 1 is your user and always starts with X
• Player 2 is the computer
• First, make a game that just alternates between X and O when the user clicks
  • Make sure it knows that three is a row is a win + (the other possible state).
• Then, add the AI's
• On to the AI's, make the computer play the first open spot it finds
• Next, make another AI where the computer plays the random spot it finds
• Finally, make a computer that will always tie the game (perfect AI)
• (Extra COOL) Make it so that I can select which of the three AI's I'm playing (make a button for each AI).
