Not like most other youtubers who try to paint themselves under some perfect light. Well done!
This is so cool! I tried this project a couple weeks ago, but decided to quit since I know barely any python and know nothing about machine learning. Anyway, it’s cool to see someone who made it work.
This reminds me a lot of a chess engine I made in high school, I went through a lot of the same steps as you did, although mine recognized checkmate by not playing when the evaluation passed the value of the king. It ended up much weaker than I had hoped, but it did beat one of my friends so I was happy. Thank you for your videos!
I recently did an assignment on game trees and AI. I used a minimax algorithm and I related so hard when you said “mentally preparing myself before looking at code”
Hey! Nice video! Most of the chess engines base themselves by a *very* complicated minimax algorithm, have lots of chess openings and fundamentals pre-installed, and have specific processors made just for them. All of this said, there is a new chess AI designed by OpenAI called alphazero, that played against itself for 4 hours, and managed to beat the hell out of all the chess engines. And there is another one, called LelaChess Zero, which is the "indie" version of alphazero, and with 1 year of community training it is already a very skilled chess AI that managed to almost beat Stockfish 8, the best engine out there. Just saying some random stuff lol
It doesn't suck, it really depends on what you are trying to do. Its just a simple drawing library basically, if that's what you need pygame will get you there pretty straight forward. Nothing really "sucks" that works. It's just a matter of when to use it.
I just listen to your 4 last video, that's nice. You make easy explanation if I can say. It is fun to watch your progress in programming your game and you got a great voice to listen. Your game look nice but I hope to see some gameplay with enemy. Keep up the good works!
@@Marhathor No bro, shannon number is lower bound of possible games played(wikipedia), shannon couldn't be wrong, he initiated AI research with his information theory.
If you continue this project, you should add a delay before the opponent's move to make it more realistic. Also, when a piece is moved, it should quickly slide across the screen to the chosen square. Nice vid :)
Well, that's no one's fault. I really sympathize with what you're going through. My experiences in Python aren't with chess, but that's the same as my experiences in Python.
Did you see SuckerPinch's video on 30 weird chess algorithms? This feels like a fun companion video to that. I have no doubt that TH-cam recommended this video to me because I have watched that one like 5 times. New sub!
Good vid man. Also its not really a AI since it doesnt use any ml algorithms like neat etc. Its just ur brain that made that alg and applied it. Keep going mate good job
Last year's best chess engine (Stockfish) isn't programmed by machine learning. People only know that a machine learning AI crushed Stockfish at some point, but don't know that Stockfish reclaimed its title the year after.
such a refreshing channel my man, I love the big programmer channels but they are way too far ahead, you're able to connect with us a whole lot more as you learn along with us Thanks for making these videos, I'm sure your inspiring tonnes of new developers to take up the exact same thing
There are so many game devs that are sprouting up and showing how they made their indie games and it's so cool to see. Welcome to the cool game devs table and keep trying new things cause that's how you get better and better :) 👍
This is the type of inspiration i need in order to not give up on my game. I hate coding and as someone who has no idea what they're typing, I have to decide between the will to live and opening up Unity! Glad to see your hard work payed of for you!
When the first demonstration literally has illegal moves almost immediately and you can't even win. Well this should be fun. Very cool trying to make your own chess engine though
I've been studying Machine Learning algorithms in python for abut 2 weeks, learning so much and found something that I thought was crazy, you can actually predict the people who would survive the Titanic, I found this challenge in Kaggle. I don't know, maybe is something obvious or stupid to any of you guys but for me it was crazy. By the way, one more sub. Don't blink, or you could miss your 100.000th subscriber
Technically if you only limit the search to when a king is captured your program is a perfect strategy. Assuming of course that stalemates don't happen. Or infinite loops. And we don't include castling or en passant in the game. And the king is worth infinitely many points.
This video took like 70 hours to make :)

Ahh, the programmer's paradox: That which seems the simplest takes the longest and that which seems the hardest takes a minute.

That's probably because computers are extremely good at what we are bad at, but extremely bad at what we are good at
"ah yeah, writing a function that checks for when a 'check mate' state occurs is gonna be easy, about 5 minutes"
Literally takes a week to do it
how dfq does that make any sense
Well, normally, unless you expect it to. Then it does what it seems like, so that when you pick the complex-seeming thing, it is complex.
"95% of the time that a novice programmer complains that something is 'terrible to use', it's because they don't know what they're doing."
