Build Status

Game

The Virus War is a complete information strategic game between two players (similar to Chess and Go). You can read complete rules of the game on the project page

The game usually played on the 8x8 square field. But game size can be changed bu changing field size. In a usual game number of legal moves for players fluctuates around 3K and can reach 15K for certain positions. Such a huge branching factor makes the game difficult for classic minimax approaches.

You can play with simple AI in command line by running
