Today I want to introduce you to Jake Mitchell, a MATLAB user that I knew of and someone recently reminded me of again. Jake is a mechanical engineering major who is interested in data science. He uses MATLAB to explore strategies and positions in various games, and then writes about it. As he does, he shows the core code for the way pieces move and the game unfolds. Games with Simple RulesJake has really nice commentary about possible strategies, based on simulating many, many plays of each games. In some cases, he also applies machine learning techniques to enable a machine to learn to play, such as tic-tac-toe. He's got an algorithm for playing Connect-4, a fun post on [URL="https://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/?p=4713"]>[/URL]
