Whiteboard
I've started adapting the oldlady AI by Paul Kuliniewicz (http://
There are some nice things about this AI: it's written in python, so easily compatible, and well designed. Its bidding is also fairly good. On the other hand, the play leaves something to be desired (though I have some interest in improving it). Also, the bidding logic is written in prolog, so it has some arcane dependencies, including a rather unmaintained python package (pyswip). The author has suggested rewriting it in something python-based, though this would also take some work.
Finally, there are some interface issues I need to sort out, like how to "ask" it to join or leave a table, and how to sit at multilple seats at a time.
