You could use the hotspot feature for that, altough it's a bit unstable on some (many?) gamesCaperuAzul wrote: ↑15 September 2022, 12:00 https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=71402
What the title says. I explain it a little more in the link, but that's it: being able to play all the games alone to try them out and learn how they are played by practicing.
that is not a simple thing. Some of these games are incredibly complex in terms of not just the action options but the consequential and sequential variables that cascade from each decision. they can't even resource bug fixing all the games no way they have the resources to do that. Is there a particular game you're struggling with?It's possible for chess and go and a few more games because a lot of people have put a lot of effort for many years into developing just that for just these games.CaperuAzul wrote: ↑15 September 2022, 19:36
If you can play a game of chess against a computer, why not other board games too?
This is the core of an AI I wrote for tic-tac-toe. TIC-TAC-TOE!!! And you want them to just whip up AIs for all games? These things do not just happen magically.CaperuAzul wrote: ↑15 September 2022, 19:36 If you can play a game of chess against a computer, why not other board games too?
Code: Select all

of the given board and the second element is the desired move as a

Not quite. There are several that I don't quite understand, but above all I wanted to have the option to practice as much as I wanted without having to wait to find a player or players who wanted to play that game. With some unpopular games it is very difficult to find players, at least the times that I have tried. Or that my acquaintances want to play.
