Optimizer for game coefficients using the SPSA algorithm. Author: Stéphane Nicolet

Usage : python game-optimizer.py [PARAM_NAME PARAM_VALUE]...

The parameter list can also we provided as a string in the Python code, see the function set_parameters_from_string() in the example section.

• game_optimizer.py : the main file of the package
• spsa.py : a general-purpose minimization algorithm (an improved version of the SPSA algorithm)
• utils.py : small utility functions
• match.py : a script to organize a match between two playing engines in any game (Go, Chess, etc..)
• chess-game.py : organize one game of Chess between two engines. Can be plugged into match.py
• chess-match.py : a specialized Chess version of match.py, more efficient because it uses parallelism for the match
