Connect X

Overview

This competition introduces a new type of challenge called Simulations, where you'll build an AI agent to play the game Connect X. The goal is to get a certain number of your checkers in a row before your opponent does, and you'll compete against other agents. It's a great way to practice reinforcement learning.

Requirements

To participate, you need to create a Python file named 'submission.py' that contains your agent's logic. This agent will receive the game state and must decide which column to drop a checker into. You can use any standard Python modules available on Kaggle Kernels. Your agent must return a valid move within a time limit and cannot have a file size over 100MB. Submissions are evaluated based on a skill rating system derived from playing against other agents.

Prizes

As a 'Getting Started' competition, Connect X does not offer any cash prizes or medals. The reward is purely based on the knowledge and experience gained by developing and testing your AI agent.
