Snake Solver

This repo is under heavy development.

Snake Solver is an AI-played Snake game, looking for perfect solution in shortest steps. The GUI is implemented with PyGame. The algorithm is a mixed method of BFS, Hamiltonian path, A* searching and forward checking.

Algorithms

  • A* algorithm:

Calculate gscore and heuristic distance, then add them up as tentative gscore. Comparing T-gscore of possible moves to find best move.

  • Forward checking:
  1. Find shortest Path(Based on BFS) between head and apple.

  2. After the snake eats apple, Whether it can find its tail. If yes, then return the path from 1); If no, continue.

  3. Let the snake move to its tail along the longest path (Adding steps into the shortest path to make it as longest as possible).

  • Mixed Strategy(Forward Checking&BFS):
  1. Find shortest Path between head and apple.

  2. After the snake eats apple, Whether it can find its tail. If yes, then return the path from 1); If no, continue.

  3. Let the snake move one step (Choose one direction). After this move, the snake should find its tail and is farest from apple then the other three directions.

Future works

  • Almighty move:

Automatically construct a path or combination of pathes which covers the whole area of the graph.
