Python Checkers AI Tutorial Part 1 - The Minimax Algorithm Explained

In this python minimax tutorial I will explaining the minimax algorithm and discussing how we can implement the minimax algorithm with python code. Specifically we will use minimax to create a python AI that can play the game of checkers.

i love how there also is a checkers board in the background

I've never quite understood the implementation of the minimax algorithm but I know by the end of this series I will have understood it completely
thanks Tim allllooot

Great tutorial but one thing to note. If a piece can capture another piece then it must do so. The official rules give no choice on caputure or not. Also, if a piece can capture, no other piece can move because the piece that can capture is the one that must move. Similiar to being in check while playing chess.

You are the best. Tech with tim . I am learnin python and pygame only seeing your videos

Nice editing! I've looked into minimax algorithms before, i got what they do as a general idea but I didn't completely understand it. This helps a lot!

[DuyTran-sslu]

You're explanation on the algorithm is on point

[amineziad]

You are the best programming teacher ever

Loved watching this video tim ♥.. keep up the good work 👍

Hello bro thanks for your teaching love from India.😊

[JoseSanchez-vvzd]

This video was quite helpful! Thanks Tim! :)

last time I was this early my brain functioned

What do you mean if he decides to capture, American checkers rules need to capture

[kimeg]

Do you plan to introduce the alpha-beta pruning technique in the following videos?

[nicomuller]

so the AI assumes that red doesnt look 2 steps in the future and only on the current state?

[unknownman]

I wonder why Tim always uses Visual Studio code or Sublime text for presentation although he said that Pycharm is the best

[demyk]

Right, u’r checker game has a flaw. I think u have to capture, when a spot is open. And u’r AI decided to get capture. Maybe, I misunderstand the rules. Or your game lacks that certain rule.

❤ How do I implement this using Processing?

[achinthaanuran]

What is language should I learn to be software developer.
And YouTubers.
Thanks

Where did you learn how to program from?

How can we use our own voice in making our own personal assistant in python... So that our personal assistant will speak in our voice ?
