Hi,
could you please specify more precisely the conditions for admission to the exam? I am not clear what is meant by "your agent needs to consistently outperform the random agent". Is it enough if my agent reaches over 90% in 1000 games? Does the agent have to meet other requirements?
Many greetings

Hi,
we currently aim for a win-rate of 80% in about 100 simulated games against either the RandomAgent or the RandomLateEndAgent.
The real-threshold can slightly deviate (~70%) because of bad luck with the card-draws.
In this case we will take a deeper look into your sourcecode to verify your idea.

We did not set a fixed threshold to let you explore the framework and get back to you in case your solution seems to have problems in beating the random agents.

Kind Regards,
Alex

PS: for Bachelor we simulate 100 games against a mirror matchup and for Master we will simulate 100 games for all 16 matchups (3 known decks and 1 unknown)

Hi,

do you also consider who begins in a game ie. are the 100 games with a random beginner each time or is one player always beginning?

The starting player will be chosen for each game such that we switch every new game. So exactly 50 games in which a player will be the starting player.
