Bayes Monsters

Summary

A simple game in which the player needs to defend itself against two enemy types, demons, and dragons, which can attack at different speeds. The proper defense, either a sword or a bow and arrow, depends on both the type of enemy and its speed. After a few games, the human player becomes proficient and is able to obtain better scores. However, the moves of the human player are used to train a naive Bayes classifier, which, after a few rounds of observations, can play the game by itself—at a similar proficiency to the human that played before.
