This repository holds the optimizer framework as proposed in my Master Thesis. It contains a generic optimizer class that can be used to implement various optimization algorithms for various use cases. One of these use cases is the Game Optimizer, which can be used to optimize the accompanying game made for this thesis.

The in-game optimizer uses NLopt, so it is advised to install this in a virtual environment. To do this, run the following commands:

    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    pip install -r ./code/requirements.txt

Running the example code can be done by running the following command:

    python main.py

Adapting the parameters for the Game optimizer should be done inside the Parameters.py file. This allows you to set minimum and maximum values for the parameters, as well as the type. The optimization code itself is located in the GameOptimizer.py file. There you can set the NLopt optimization algorithm (currently using COBYLA) as well as the stopping criterion and objective function (by changing how the score_game(...) method calculates it).
