This was a project I did during my years at University. As part of my programming studies, the student was required over a period of 13 weeks, slowly develop a very simple version of the game of Go. We were only required to develop the basic principle of the game, surround an opponent’s stones with your own.At the end of the semester I had a fully working game written in Java.
After my move to Multimedia and armed with recently taught knowledge of flash, I decided to re-write my original game in Flash with an added component, an AI opponent. Over a few weeks during my holiday period, I set about re-building the game with a successful AI. At the end of numerous weeks, I was successful and the results you can see below.
