Hi everyone, thanks for visiting my page! I'm so happy to see ya'll today!
Today I'm 39 and if there's one thing I can say is that I feel like time hasn't passed, I still like the same things I liked when I was a teenager: anime, strategy games and comedies.
My favorite hobby is definitely playing games and I am a data scientist that knows quite a bit of python so I decided to try making my first game with python and I decided on an old school tactics game since it seemed simple enough. Many times when I play strategy games I think about how I could build mathematical models to try to optimize my performance but making such hacks is not very easy even if you don't try an invasive route (which I wouldn't know how to do anyways).
I've made simple bots that read the screen and control the keyboard and mouse but those take a lot of work and it's really not that fun. What I like is actually building mathematical models to create AIs. Connecting the AI to other systems is the boring part so I decided to try to add the possibility of players creating a standard reinforcement learning bot and test out their AI-making skills!
Off course I'll do a tutorial just for that, that is if it's even possible! From what I've seen I believe it is and I can't wait to get that done!
Before that I still want to make a simple game that is capable of standing on its own though. I just finished the main mechanics now all that is left is to add variety, music and an intro and two endings! Stay tuned!
