This is a game which I wrote for a computer science class. 2 of these classes were written by my prof. Adam Smith. He wrote the humanPigPlayer, and theAbstract pigPlayer.
The game’s rules can be read here.
The class Pig serves as a template for the game to be played within. It keeps track of the scores of each player, and facilitates the play of the game by generating a random number, which represents the die. It also initializes the players. As the code is on this site, the 2 players will be 1 human, and 1 AI which can be viewed below. They are named “Name” and “Name2”

This is extremely simple AI created by me to serve as an opponent in a game of Pig.
I simplified resources found here and tried to best optimize the AI’s chance of winning against a human player.
