tl;dr:
I wrote this post about how to approach writing AI players for board games, and how I did a unique player to play Alchemize. Check it out!

Two years ago @stavu and @jakier made Alchemize - a completely original strategy board game for two players. It was their entry for Ludum Dare 42 - “Running out of Space”.

Recently we released a new version of Alchemize, with the ability to play against AI, in 4 different difficulty levels.

I wrote a post about how I wrote Alchemize AI Algorithm, explaining the challenges of creating AI for a unique board game. I describe the solutions I chose, taking into account strategy, speed and player experience.
