A simulator for strategies of a well-known cooperative card game.

Hansim

A strategy simulator for the well-known cooperative card game Hanabi. This directory contains code for two strategies, both using hat guessing to allow hints to be given to each player simultaneously.

The first strategy, contained in the files that begin with rec_, is an actionable clues based strategy. The second strategy, whose files are prefixed with info_, comprise a more complex strategy that achieves a perfect score 75% of the time.

Compilation

With the GCC compiler, to compile the rec_ strategy, use g++ rec_main.cpp To compile the info_ strategy, use g++ info_main.cpp

For other compilers, just build either rec_main.cpp or info_main.cpp.
