Risk Bot

A bot made for the SYNCS Bot Battle 2024.

Project Structure

  • attack_game contains the majority of the implementation of the attacking logic.
  • mcts contains the core search component of the attacking logic.
  • json_connection contains tools for connecting to the SYNCS match simulator.
  • puct_bot contains an entry point intended to be compiled to WASM to connect to the match simulator.
  • risk_bots contains various full Risk bots, including an (approximate) reimplementation of the SYNCS examples, some early attempts, and the main bot.
  • risk_engine contains a reimplementation of the SYNCS game engine.
  • risk_helper contains a reimplementation of the SYNCS helper library.
  • risk_shared contains a reimplementation of the SYNCS shared library.
  • sprt contains tools for testing
  • spsa contains tools for tuning
  • stub.py contains a stub for loading puct_bot for the SYNCS match simulator
  • build.sh attempts to build the puct_bot and integrate it with stub.py.

Building

A Rust compiler is required (Nightly is recommended). To use the provided build script, the wasm-wasip1 target should be installed. The full project, excluding the Python stub can be build using:

cargo build --release

The stub can be integrated with the main bot using:

./build.sh

Another WASM bot can be integrated with the stub using

echo "WASM = \"$(base64 --wrap=0 <wasm_file>)\"\n$(cat stub.py)" > bot.py

Limitations

There is a very long list of things the bot is unable to do that it probably should be capable of. These include:

  • Splitting troops during attacks
  • Targeting or avoiding the top player
  • Preventing other players from claiming entire continents during the initial phase
  • Intelligently choosing when to redeem cards
