Minimax Search Animations with Manim

General

• Animations using the python library Manim, created for an educational capsule on minimax search.
• Explanations and examples heavily based on Chapter 6 of the book by Russel & Norvig: Artificial intelligence: A Modern Approach.

Compilation

Step 1: Prepare Your Python Animation File

First, you need to write your animations in a Python file. This script includes the code to create your animation. In our example, this file is pseudocode_scene.py. Replace it with the name of your Python file.

Step 2: Understanding the Flags

The Manim command comes with several flags that help you customize the output video. In our example, we have used the -qh flag.

-qh sets the quality of the output video. It has options like l for low quality, m for medium quality, h for high quality, and p for production quality (the highest).

Make sure to replace these flags according to your requirement.

Step 3: Name of the Output Video

Lastly, you need to name the output video. In our case, it's PseudoCode. Replace it with the name you want your output video file to have.

Step 4: Executing the Command

After setting all the parameters, execute the command in your terminal:

manim -qh pseudocode_scene.py PseudoCode
