Starting this week, the team is shifting its focus towards developing the AI assistant. This assistant is tasked with simulating hundreds of games without disrupting the current game state. To achieve this, we’re disconnecting any components within our code that could interfere with this process. This allows our algorithm to run simulations and provide users with the optimal choices that maximize the blue team’s chances of winning, all while maintaining the integrity of our ongoing game.

This step is crucial as we gear up for prototype inspection day, where the functionality and effectiveness of our AI assistant will play a significant role in showcasing the progress and potential of our project.

Additionally, we’ve enhanced our UI to display Blue Team defenses the user can select, machine health, and state, providing a comprehensive view for strategic decision-making.

As a final note, this marks our last week before heading into a well-deserved spring break.
