AI Algorithms for Gaming

- Playing against the computer is only fun when it's challenging, let alone beating a human player at chess. I'm Eduardo Copeno and I'm excited to tell you all about some of the most popular algorithms behind game playing computers. One of the many exciting areas of artificial intelligence. In this course we'll go over some of the techniques implemented by Deep Blue, the IBM computer that defeated the chess world champion, Garry Kasparov back in 1997. You'll also get to see these techniques in a fun implementation of the Cat Drop game, developed in Python. Plus you'll have the chance to play around with the code. So welcome to the course. I'm sure you'll find these clever tricks interesting.
