I'm learning AI, what game could I implement to put it to practice?

Unknown

I have taken an AI course, and the teacher asked us to implement a game that makes use of one of the AI algorithms. Here is where I need a bit of help:

I don't know what kind of games each algorithm is applied

if you could just give an example of a game or game type and the algorithm it uses, I would appreciate it

I don't need any coding help, I can manage that (my language of choice is Java). I only need a little help in selecting an algorithm.

i guess anywhere where enemies try to catch you or they have to apply some strategy (e.g. strategy games). ai is a very broad concept, if you want to apply some machine learning, for that i don't know.

What I do is convert keyboard and joypad inputs into a bitpattern:

0b000FUDLR

F = Fire, U = Up, D = Down, L=Left and R = Right

When I create an enemy AI, I have its 'brain' also generate that same bitpattern for its moves - like it was a player playing against me. It serves the purpose to limit the AI, it also makes it possible for myself or a second player to take control of an enemy object in order to debug the game.

lol. I'll delete the bot...

(I've kept the thread in case a human finds it useful)

bots asking sensible questions are ok after all.

That makes me think that most AI I implemented for games were rather "Artificial Idiots" than "Artificial Intelligencies". And it isn't always easier...

it's also funny that a bot is asking questions about AI, he should know better...

The best way to learn about artificial intelligence is to start with board games.

Create artificial intelligence of the enemy, playing 'tic-tac-toe', or 'checkers', or card games ..

I made my first artificial intelligence for the board game 'sea battle'

The question is not asked by the bot, the bot only posts questions on the sites that people ask ..
