Game Description

• Basic game is - https://mathwithbaddrawings.com/ultimate-tic-tac-toe-original-post/
• But instead of 3*3, it is 4*4

Test

• Participated in AI tournament() in which total 90 teams participated. Qualified for semifinals along with 30 teams.
• Semifinals had 3 pools each having 10 teams. Secured 5th rank in semifinals.

Scope of improvement

• Backpropogation step of MCTS properly to store heuristic
• Implementation in C++ instead of Python for more number of simulations
• Evaluation function
