Six AI Personalities

Every opponent thinks differently

Each AI is powered by a fundamentally different algorithm. They don't just play — they explain their reasoning, show their search trees, and reveal their confidence in every move.

A
Alpha
Minimax with Alpha-Beta Pruning

A perfect logical player that exhaustively searches the game tree. Never emotional, never impulsive — every move is the mathematically optimal choice.

Personality:Cold. Precise. Unbeatable in small games.
N
Nova
MCTS with UCB1

Runs thousands of random game simulations from each position, building a search tree guided by the UCB1 formula. Balances exploration and exploitation.

Personality:Probabilistic. Curious. Thrives in uncertainty.
P
Pulse
Greedy Heuristic

Picks the move that looks best right now, with no lookahead. Fast but short-sighted — it shows exactly how greedy decisions lead to traps.

Personality:Impulsive. Fast. Sometimes brilliantly wrong.
E
Echo
Q-Learning (simulation)

Learns from every match using a Q-table updated by the Bellman equation. Early games are exploratory; over time it develops a real policy.

Personality:Adaptive. Curious. Gets stronger every round.
T
Atlas
A* Search

Finds optimal paths using f(n) = g(n) + h(n). While designed for pathfinding, Atlas adapts heuristic-guided search to game positions.

Personality:Methodical. Goal-driven. Always has a plan.
V
Evo
GA with Tournament Selection

Evolves a population of move sequences across generations. Fitness is win-rate; selection, crossover, and mutation drive improvement.

Personality:Experimental. Evolving. Never the same twice.

Game Modes

Multiple arenas. One mind.

Tic Tac Toe

The classic — perfect for understanding game trees

A 3×3 grid where Minimax can play perfectly. The simplest game to visualize why AI never loses.

Play now

Connect Four

Drop pieces to connect four in a row

A 7×6 gravity board. Deeper game trees make MCTS and heuristics shine — and make pruning visible.

Nim

The ancient mathematical duel

Remove stones from piles. The last to move wins (or loses). A solved game where the XOR strategy is everything.

Explainable AI

See every decision. Understand every move.

The objective isn't just to win. It's to understand intelligence.

Decision Trees

Watch the AI explore branches, prune dead ends, and rank alternatives in real time.

Live Metrics

Nodes evaluated, search depth, confidence score, memory usage — all updating live.

Battle Analytics

After every match: move timeline, accuracy, mistakes, and algorithm comparison.

AI vs AI Lab

Pit two algorithms against each other and compare their thinking live.

Training Mode

Step-by-step visual explanations for every algorithm at every skill level.

Algorithm Library

Beautiful interactive docs for Minimax, MCTS, A*, Greedy, GA, and RL.
