Assignment 5

Optional. Modify your MCS and/or MCTS player to index states used in depth charges and implement differential update. Once your player is ready to go, click on the links below to test it out.

Submission details: Choose one of your players and upload it to Gamemaster. Your grade for this assignment will be based on this player. Important: Include up to one page of commentary, so that the course assistants can understand your player and assess how well it addresses the lessons of the week. Your player must be uploaded by 6:00 pm the day before class, and uploads will be disabled from then until 6:00 pm the day of class.

In addition to using your submission in assigning a grade for the week, we will use your player in a variety of matches. Results will be announced in class, and we may demonstrate your player in action during class. Games will be similar to the ones above but will not be announced in advance. So be sure not to build in details about specific games.
