Coding an AI to play video games

 




Description
I’m learning Artificial Intelligence coding techniques such as Neural Networks with video games. Let’s see if my bot can win against human players. I’m starting with these games: TFT (TeamFight Tactics), Hearthstone, Clash Royale, Polytopia, Chess, & Clash of Clans. If you have a strategy game suggestion, request it in the comments.

Hello and welcome to my channel. If you’re an aspiring coder or a gamer, you’re in the right place. Follow me on my journey to build an AI that can play video games. In the process, you’ll learn to code & hopefully we’ll both improve our gameplay a little as well.

I am AI Gamer. I’m an expert coder and a casual gamer. I learned coding as a kid making simple video games. It led to a long and rewarding career coding … boring business applications. After 20 years working for the man, I’m returning to my roots.

I created this channel to teach you how to code and to hopefully make it fun. I plan to cover a wide variety of programming languages and technologies. So, hopefully something will pique your interest.

Along the way I’ll try a bunch of different games because each one with provide new challenges to solve.
