Homepage: http://magarena.googlecode.com
|
|
Forum: http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=82
|
|
|
|
Requirements: Java Runtime 6 (http://java.com) must be installed on your computer
|
|
|
|
Starting Magarena:
|
|
On Windows, double click on Magarena.exe
|
|
On Linux, execute ./Magarena.sh.
|
|
On Mac, run Magarena.command
|
|
|
|
Magarena supports the following keyboard shortcuts :
|
|
Space or Right key : action button
|
|
Escape or Left key : undo button
|
|
Enter key : switch between graphical and text mode
|
|
F1 or M key : show or hide game messages
|
|
|
|
Selecting the AI to play against:
|
|
The desired AI can be selected in the "New duel" dialog (Arena -> New duel).
|
|
|
|
Default is minimax. AI difficulty level for the best balance of speed and
|
|
strength is the default 6.
|
|
|
|
The Monte Carlo AI spends at most N seconds to consider each move, where N is
|
|
the AI difficulty level. It is the strongest AI available, however it cheats
|
|
as it has knowledge of all cards in the game.
|
|
|
|
The Vegas AI should be fast on all difficulty levels.
|
|
|
