reinforcement learning tic tac toe in matlab

To implement reinforcement learning for Tic Tac Toe in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define the Environment:

    • Create a 3x3 grid to represent the Tic Tac Toe board.
    • Set up a state representation to keep track of the current board and the player's turn.
    • Define the rules of the game, including valid moves and win/lose conditions.
  2. Implement the Q-Learning Algorithm:

    • Initialize a Q-table to store the Q-values for each state-action pair.
    • Set hyperparameters such as the learning rate, discount factor, and exploration rate.
    • Use a loop to iterate over episodes:
      • Start with an empty board and choose an action based on the current state and exploration rate.
      • Execute the chosen action and observe the new state and reward.
      • Update the Q-value of the previous state-action pair based on the observed reward and the maximum Q-value of the new state.
      • Repeat until the game is over or a certain number of moves have been reached.
  3. Train the Agent:

    • Run multiple episodes of the Q-Learning algorithm to let the agent learn from its experiences.
    • Adjust the exploration rate over time to gradually reduce exploration and exploit learned knowledge.
  4. Evaluate the Agent:

    • Use the trained Q-table to make decisions in a game against a human player or a random agent.
    • Measure the agent's performance by tracking the win percentage or other metrics.

To implement the above steps, you can use MATLAB's matrix operations to represent the board, a combination of loops and conditional statements to implement the game logic and training loop, and data structures such as tables or arrays to store the Q-values.

Note that the implementation details may vary depending on the specific approach and variations of the Tic Tac Toe game you want to implement.
