I read the NN article on ai-junkie were he uses genetic algotithms to get good weights. I thought about making a NN thats plays TicTacTo with that method. The input would be 18 binary nodes that represent the board. Each square has two nodes (emty = 0,0, X=1,0, O=0,1) and the output is four binary nodes that represent the move (the squares are numbered 1-9 in binary code i.e. - 1=0,0,0,1, 2=0,0,1,0 ... 9=1,0,0,1) I'll have about 200 hidden nodes (one layer) that have an "uperboundry" function (if bigger that x output 1, else 0). In order to get the weights I'll have 100 TTT players in every generation that play against eachother, the ones that win the most have the best chance to go to the next generation. Since the TTT players don't even know that they're not alowed to go in a spot that is already taken, that kind of move will be an aunomatic loss. After about 1000 generations I should have an unbeatable player right? Can anyone please give me advice, warnings, or anything else! (I'm going to try to implement this in a few days so anything would be helpfull) Thanks!!
