Bill's PC is an AI project, intended for playing Pokemon Showdown's Random Battle format.
Bill's PC is developed on Ubuntu 14.04 and untested on other systems. If python and the other dependencies are supported, then it will probably run.
Pre-installation dependencies:
- python2.7
- pip
- nodejs
- npm
- git 1.7.2+
git clone https://github.com/sobolews/BillsPC.git
cd BillsPC
Optional (but recommended): use a virtualenv!
sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh mkvirtualenv -a . -p /usr/bin/python2.7 BillsPC
./install.sh ./test.sh

Bill's PC is currently in development!

#### Notes
Bill's PC is largely still just a prototype, and I am fully expecting to have to
rewrite it in C++ to gain enough performance for AI algorithms to be
successful. Currently, I only plan to implement moves, items, and abilities that
appear in Showdown's randbats (random battle) format, and have the bot exploit
statistics gained from offline team generation using Showdown's algorithm. As
Showdown changes their random movesets, I will try to update Bill's PC with any
new mechanics that need to be implemented.
