It's been a while since my last post. I have been busy with a lot of things, mostly my thesis and work (websites...). Another thing I have been doing is finally finishing my Game Programming project. For this project I have created a small iPhone application.
The application is a game based on Yahtzee. As an addition to the default game where you can roll dice and save your score, I've added two things which are more related to Artificial Intelligence.
First there's Computer Vision involved. If you have an device with a camera (iPhone), you can take a picture of real dice and it will recognize what you rolled automatically, so you can use this roll in your game.
Another feature is suggestions. The application will give you some suggestions on what dice to keep and which to re-roll, but also which score category you should fill in. The suggestions are a result of calculating the full game graph and taking the path with the highest score.
Anyway, here's some screenshots of the result:
If you are interested in the game, you can buy ($0.99 or €0.79) it in iTunes (App Store) through the following link: iRoll. Also here's a link to the final paper for this project: Download.
