Farkle AI Gameplay

^This repository is an AI for https://cardgames.io/farkle/.

The AI named "You" is a userscript that users can install to play against the AI named "Bill" that is built-in to the website.

Running the compiled version

1. Install a userscript manager, e.g. tampermonkey
2. Click here to install the userscript from gh-pages
3. Open https://cardgames.io/farkle/ to see it play

Results

• Expected win rate against a perfect AI when you go first is 53.3% (from cargo run --release -- exec)
• Against "Bill" from cardgames.io, 56.4%. So it is a bit stronger (by 3.1%)
  • JSON.parse(localStorage['farkleSolver.results']): {wins: 1260, loss: 974}

Running development version

1. Run npm i
2. Install wasm-pack
3. Run cargo install cargo-watch
4. Run npm start
5. Install the userscript by opening pkg/userscript.development.user.js in your browser (by dragging on to the browser window)
6. Open https://cardgames.io/farkle/ to see it play, making sure only one of the userscripts (farkle-development, farkle-production) is enabled

Design

This project uses wasm-bindgen to generate wasm files, which are imported by a userscript and run on a game on cardgames.io.

npm start has three scripts:

• wasm-pack to compile rust to wasm, exporting to pkg/
• webpack for the userscript/ directory, exporting to pkg/
• http-server of the pkg/ directory, so that the userscript can import the wasm and the cache files

It looks like this:
