Introduction

Gomoku implemention of reinforcement learning by AlphaZero methods using mxnet cpp-package.

Compile

• On windows, compiled Mxnet shared libray is needed, edit CMakeLists.txt to include and link correct directories.
• On linux, if you don't bother to compile Mxnet yourself, you can use python pip install mxnet to download mxnet, then edit build.sh, add library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
• In any way, it is indispensible to include correct header.
• Pay attention to your c++ compiler version, it must fully support c++11.

Usage

Enter gomoku <command> to see subcommand help in detail.
These are common Gomoku commands used in various situations:

   config     Print global configure  
   train      Train model from scatch or parameter file  
   play       Play with trained model  
   benchmark  Benchmark between two mcts deep players  

Demo

The model supplied has 8x8 board size, 64 filters, 3 residual blocks, trained on 1cpu for about 1.5 days, 9336 backward updates to the network.

Above shows a game played between human(first hand, represented by x) and AI(represented by o) using pretrained model with command gomoku play 0 9336.
