Developing a Game Server for Humans and Bots

摘要

The paper focuses on modern web development tools as a means of implementing a strategy board game in a web environment. We examine various Ajax frameworks in order to create the client side interface and the turn based interaction between players in the web. A rating system is implemented for measuring the skill of human and computer players alike, and a distributed architecture is proposed for aspiring AI researchers and enthusiasts, in order to integrate their game playing bots with the main server of the game.
