DESCRIPTION:

Poker bot engine based on FANN framework written in C++ as practical and exprimental part of Bachelor's thesis. Require slightly more development to be perfect. Project finished in Jan 2016. Learning process involves reinforcement incremental learning.

HOWTO:

• install 'scons' tools to proces SConstruct make file
• run 'scons' in main directory
• run poker engine: cd mitbots && java -jar engine
• run bot: ./holdembot

EXTERNAL DEPENDENCIES:

• mitpokerbots: engine designed for poker bots championship released by MIT and available on their website (mitbots directory)
• FANN framework: neural networks framework (fann subrepo)
• SpecialKEval: naive tool for scoring hands (SpecialKEval subrepo)

DOCS:

Comments and source code of course :)

TODO

• provide some better way of scoring cards strength

OTHER:

• build SpecialKEval subrepo first, its not added to scons because its usage should be exchanged with something else

STRUCTURE:

• ./src: source code
• ./inc: header files
• ./mitbots: mitpokerbots testing platform
• ./data: some runtime data like currently used neutal network and saved trained networks
