Blokus Game Solver, Chin Chao
Computer Engineering
Blokus (officially pronounced as “Block us”) is an abstract strategy board game with transparent Tetris-shaped, color pieces that players are trying to place onto the board. However, the players can only place a piece that touches at least one corner of their own pieces on the board. The ultimate goal of the game is to place as many pieces onto the board as a player can while blocking off the opponent’s ability to place more pieces onto the board. Each player has pieces with different shapes and sizes that can be placed onto the board, where each block within a …

Slither.Io Deep Learning Bot, James Caudill
Computer Engineering
Recent advances in deep learning and computer vision techniques and algorithms have inspired me to create a model application. The game environment used is Slither.io. The system has no previous understanding of the game and is able to learn its surroundings through feature detection and deep learning. Contrary to other agents, my bot is able to dynamically learn and react to its environment. It operates extremely well in early game, with little enemy encounters. It has difficulty transitioning to middle and late game due to limited training time. I will continue to develop this algorithm.

Programming Tools For Artificial Intelligence Classes, Christopher Mckee
Computer Engineering
This project was begun in Winter of 2013 at California Polytechnic State University by myself, Christopher McKee, and was advised by Foaad Khosmood. The main goal of this project was to create an alternative to a current program that was being used in the Artificial Intelligence course on campus. The previous program used Java to create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for students to use when learning how to create the various intelligent agents. In the versions created within the scope of this project, one of the environments used Java as the programming language, while the other two environments leveraged …
