Did you beat the bot on your first try? Did you use the same strategy or something entirely different?

If you made a bot suitable for my Beat the bot series, send it to me and I might use it for the next installment

I could not get the bot to launch. Even after adding http://users.telnet.be to the Exceptions List, it still gave me a warning about self-signed apps running.

Simulation / New feature: play against Geronimoo's simulator

« on: September 29, 2017, 03:04:43 pm »

Tired of playing against 'Lord Rattington'? Why not play against some smart'ish' simulator bots...? Yes, your favorite simulator has a brand new feature. Only base set is supported, but you can get additional sets for 50 Crystals, which you can buy here for $3.
 
The interface is a bit clunky but it will feel 'familiar' So go play against MichaelJB's famous first game engine bot (search for "First game" in the bot list) or play against a simulated Burning Skull killing Base Dominion games (search for "Burning Skull" in the bot list).

I intend to write an article about Burning Skull's great How to Base Dominion youtube series. I'll write accompanying bots so people can feel what it's like to play against a top player.

I'd love to see feedback, bug reports and your own created bots...

Opportunity cost of not buying a Silver makes this worse than letting Adventurer stay at $6.

Simulation / Two card combos simulated

« on: December 14, 2016, 03:39:46 pm »

There was some demand to simulate two card combos, so I did. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WWRY4tlQLYvIJtryI6zA8MWRKyNneC4M5iFF_5JXyxw/pubhtml

Bots are not perfect. They are static things and don't adapt to opponent's strategy, so be careful drawing conclusions from this. All bots are incorporated in the latest version of the sim

If you're feeling up for it you can enhance the bots. Just post them here and I'll review them.

I guess bot is greening to early.

Oh, I now see it. It's playing it all wrong. It's not topdecking the Coppers. Sim needs refactoring to make that combo work.

Sim result:

Jack+Bonfire 79% - DoubleJack 16%

This should be evidence that there's plenty of synergy to call it a combo.

Simulation / Re: Is Geronimoo's Simulator Open Source?

« on: August 23, 2016, 12:13:53 pm »

Thanks for the kind words NolanA. I put a lot of time and thinking into my simulator. I decided to clear the github repo and started from scratch. Here's the new github:

https://github.com/Geronimoo/DominionSim

So the code is up to date and I plan to keep it up to date on github. There's maven support (a pom file).

So question that came up when I was talking with a friend. How do you go about a board with no virtual coin, and no engine that has Bandit Fort? My guess is you get 3-4 Silvers, ~2 Golds, and then try to go for points. Maybe you try to trash some of them later if you can.

Anyone want to try to figure out what the best Bandit Fort-BM bot is?

Max 4 Silver
Max 4 Gold

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried adjusting the size of the window, and it doesn't move anything.

I'm guessing you're on an Apple? Maybe other Apple users can help you out?

The problem did not fix. Maybe I have to uninstall and reinstall the simulator.

Have you tried adjusting the size of the window, that should fix it.

Just one.

Simulation / Simulation Challenge: Farming Vineyards

« on: June 22, 2016, 12:50:44 pm »

Challenge: create a winning bot for this kingdom on my simulator. All entries will be matched against each other. If a bot has a higher win rate than another bot it will receive 1 point, otherwise 0. The bot with the most points wins the challenge.

Entries should be sent to me in PM with the code-tags. Please add some text in the description to tell me what the bot does. You have 1 week so last entries should be sent before thursday 30 june.

Getting started: the simulator already has a built in bot called "Peasant/Vineyard" that should be a good starting point. To make bots buy Events, just add them in the buy rules like you would any other card. To upgrade the Travellers also add them to the buy rules or add restrictions so they don't upgrade too far (eg you probably only want 1 Teacher). Adding tokens with Teacher is a bit tricky: for instance:

buy Teacher
-if isPlusOneCardTokenSet(Magpie) = 0
-if isPlusOneBuyTokenSet(Herald) = 0

This means the bot will only upgrade to Teacher if none of the tokens have been placed. It also means it will put the +1Card token first (it's first in the list) and will put it on Magpie.

as you probably know, the simulator is a bit of an idiot and will make mistakes playing cards in the wrong order or not at all. Consider this an added feature of the challenge

Simulation / Re: Bug Reports for Geronimoo's simulator

« on: June 15, 2016, 01:31:02 pm »

I found some things that I believe to be bugs in this program.  The first one I noticed is that Haunted Woods' attack doesn't seem to be blocked by Champion or similar cards.  Also, the bots don't seem to be able to play treasures in subsequent buy phases after buying Villa.  I guess if anyone else notices anything or wants to test any of these bugs they can post here.

Edit: The last part of Donate (where you discard and draw a new hand) doesn't happen, so it leaves the bot with all the cards it didn't trash in hand for the start of the next turn.

These have been fixed. Haunted Woods however seems to work just fine. Can you send me a bot that causes the problem?
