M.E.N.A.C.E

M.E.N.A.C.E's Board

Your Board

Instructions:
Welcome to my Machine learning tool, below are some tips on how to play:
  1. You can select what your opponant will be by selecting one of
    the options below

  2. Once you've selected your opponant you can learn more about
    them in this space

  3. Hit the start button to play a game
Machine. Educable. Noughts. And. Crosses. Engine.

This option lets you play against the machine learning system of M.E.N.A.C.E

M.E.N.A.C.E Follows this series of steps:
  1. You take your move!
  2. M.E.N.A.C.E looks for your move in its list and finds a place on the board to put
    its O the higer the coin value the more likely he will pick that move.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the game is finished.
  4. Each move M.E.N.A.C.E has made in the game either has a coin taken away or given
    to it depending if he lost or won!

Whilst playing against M.E.N.A.C.E you can hit the TRAIN button on the bottom right to
make him play against a perfect player for a few games, once he's finished see if you
can spot moves that he's learnt and if they are good or bad!

The Perfect Player

This perfect player is UNBEATABLE!!

It uses an algorithm known as Minimax that makes it so the computer

will look at each possible move it can make aswell as all the moves you

can take then makes its move. It can see into the future of the game just

to beat you!!!
M.E.N.A.C.E was originally designed in the early 1960's by British scientist Donald Michie, he was also very famous for breaking the Tunny code which was used by the Germans during world war two.

M.E.N.A.C.E was made so that a human could play noughts and crosses against a machine that slowly learnt how to play over a number of games.

M.E.N.A.C.E Follows this series of steps:
1. The Human player finds the matchbox showing what the grid looks like at the current time, take a random coin out of the box that represents a place on the board and places its O or X
2. The Human player takes their move
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the game is finished
4. Then each move taken by menace during that game is either rewarded or punished by adding more coins if it has won or drawn using those moves, or punished by removing a coin if it has lost
This may take some time
