Programming Language for HW 2
What is the programming language that TA uses to write the agent? If a programming language like Python is used, since its speed is lower than C++ or Java, will it cause the game loss? If so, does it mean that we should choose high-speed programming language like Java or C++ to write HW 2?

the students answer, where students collectively construct a single answer
Suppose you use Python and the opponent uses C++.
If your agent is well-designed, you can still win the game using more time than the opponent as long as you dont run out of time.
I think the key factor in HW2 is to design a good agent.

Sorry, its difficult to answer. There are many aspects causing the final win or loss. I cannot guarantee any language can always beat the others.

In some years, a student agent running Python has won the competition.

Daniel Link 6 days ago Were not going to make the language to use a point here, since its just going to make people worried who are using a different one. We also cant guarantee that the agents we have right now are going to be unchanged by the time we start grading.
