Tetris AI System

Posted by michael on from the it's-better-than-you-are dept.

You've probably always wanted a system that reads a Tetris game via a webcam, decides the optimum move, and then inputs the commands to make that move, right? Well, now your prayers are answered.

    I'm no expert, but re: your sig, I think Boromir was son of the Denethor II, Steward of Gondor. Faramir was Boromir's brother. Neither Boromir, Faramir, nor Denethor were ever Kings of Gondor. Just an observation.

    lol, never fear, they're there a couple of posts above......

    seriously tho, apart from the challenge of coding something like this, and the possiblitly of branching it into different systems, i don't really see any point in this, tetris is meant to be played by humans, theres no entertainment in watching a machine play, is there?

    Try reading the end of the post you're responding to. At first, he's only commenting on a computer science fact, that there are no polynomial time optimal solutions for NP-Hard problems. However, he mentions that it's possible to brute force NP-Hard problems for small cases and he also mentions that the Tetris game use is restricted.

    Or, to sum it up, NP-Hard isn't hard (even for an optimal solution) if N is small.

    I'm sure there was entertainment in coding this, though.
