These are my (semi) daily logs for my project. You can find my project summary page here

I've written up a crude Gant(?) chart stating what I need to do, first I need to get this minmax working correctly with output on the double. I've been spending probably too much time on other projects. Also at the same time I need to look more into data formats that are compatible with genetic algorithms.
November 7
- Got an implementation of minmax working, except that it's not minmax. Going to change the structure to relfect minmax.
November 3
- Continued work on Minmax
- Created my project page
October 31
Switched to a Wiki format from text file
October 30
Continued work on Minmax
October 29
Began work coding Minmax, basic framework laid out Began outline of Paper.

Looked a bit at the other students logs, mine looks really bad in comparison...I need to get this to wrap properly.
October 27
Continued reading new research, comparitivly I'm finding the chess based readings a little dry.

Read up on some research conducted yesterday, An interesting article regarding believable AI in games found (VS actually intelligent AI). Talked about giving AI human-like limitation. Got me thinking about whether it would be possible to train a learning AI about a game merely by giving it large amounts of replay data from games and letting it reason strategies and tactics by matching already seen environments. This is counter to letting the AI actually play out the game. Perhaps I'm just talking about training data and not relizing it.

Did some additional research that is more focused on what I want to do, finding research on AI and machine learning as applied to strategy games. Most of them pertain to chess, in a non-brute force method.
