| Guidelines |
| Durak (called Dudák in Czech) is a popular card game especially in Russian-speaking countries. Like many card games, it has elements of chance since cards are dealt randomly, and has hidden information since cards are not visible to all players. The game is interesting, but there has been little published research on algorithms for playing it. In this thesis work, the student will implement the game of Durak and will write agents that can play it using various techniques, including rules-based heuristics, minimax search, Monte Carlo tree search, and/or reinforcement learning. The student will compare and analyze the performance of these agents. |
