Project Descriptions

CoreComponents

This project contains the modules common to all the projects present in the solution.

PythonPlays

This project is the main project. It contains the code that will play the game. It uses modules from the CoreComponents project.

PlayRecorder

This project is used to record a playing session from a user. For every screen capture made, there is an array containing the inputs that were currently being pressed. The data from the recorded session is used to do an initial supervised training for the PythonPlays project. The supervised training will be done by the SupervisedTrainer project.

SupervisedTrainer

This project will fetch the data recorded by PlayRecorder and use it to do an initial training for the PythonPlays model.
