Final report

Coding period is over and here is a quick overview of what parts of proposal got done, which didn't and what will be done in the future.

What was done

python support

• python can be used to create AI in daneel-ai
  

MTSec AI

• should provide a challenge to moderately skilled players
• phase three and a half according to the proposal
  

simplified writing AI for new rulesets

• simple how to guide with code samples
• code generator for python
  
• a lot of ruleset independent helper functions

What wasn't done and why
automatic ship/weapon design

• one ship designed proved to be superior, so there was no need for other designs
  

automatic optimisation

• all code is there, but battles take way too long for automatic optimisation

What is yet to be done (after GSoC)

• difficulty settings (easy, medium, hard)
• limit micromanagement to appear more human
• files for single player mode so this AI with difficulty settings can be used in single player mode
• saving state of AI so the game can be saved and AI used in scenarios
• use new MTSec orders
  
• test as many human players as possible
