muzero-general VS CardScripts

I went looking for MuZero implementations in order to see how, exactly, they interact with the game space. Based on this one, which had the most stars in the muzero topic, it appears that it needs to be able to discern legal next steps from the current game state https://github.com/werner-duvaud/muzero-general/blob/master/...

So, I guess for the cards Forge has implemented one could MuZero it, but I believe it's a bit chicken and egg with a "free text" game like M:TG -- in order to train one would need to know legal steps for any random game state, but in order to have legal steps one would need to be able to read and interpret English rules and card text

You may want to use the trick described in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.11593.pdf as a Transformed Bellman Operator. Its efficiency is proved in MuZero original paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.08265.pdf Appendix F. The implementation of that method you can find here: https://github.com/werner-duvaud/muzero-general Usage: muzero/models.py:649 (def support_to_scalar)

I have used this implementation from MuZero: https://github.com/werner-duvaud/muzero-general

+1 to taking a look at OpenSpiel. It has AlphaZero in C++ and Python, and there is even a PR open that allows running UCI (e.g. Stockfish) bot. You can also load chess via the OpenSpiel wrapper in muzero-general: https://github.com/werner-duvaud/muzero-general

When I looked up some community implementations, like that of Werner Duvaud on GitHub and Discord, hoping to make my own contributions to this effect, I soon found that I was hopelessly out of my depth as an amateur programmer, even with the help of some other sources like this walkthrough series. However, from what I could tell, most of the people working on this sort of thing seemed to be tackling relatively simple games. At first I thought this might be largely due to limitations in hobby time or computing power available to these users, but then I also noticed that, unless I have misunderstood something, it seems like the games are required to be rebuilt entirely in the engine of (this implementation of) MuZero, which would also obviously be a limit on the complexity of games chosen.

Windows support (Experimental / Workaround: Use the notebook in Google Colab)

There are several if you google "muzero github", e.g. https://github.com/werner-duvaud/muzero-general

Yikes : - ( chat streams are where information goes to die

Function documentation - makes it a lot easier to read and understand scripts.

For setting in attack position, see Castle of Dark Illusions (Anime). The limitation to specific types should be possible by adding additional checks for that in s.ttcon.
