Learn JavaScript and artificial intelligence in a fun, interactive way

I really wish technical people would explain what they mean when they say AI, and quickly name which algorithms they're using. If they don't, it's just clickbait.

Is there really a need to install, by my count, 208 node modules globally?<p>Would the longer second line in the instructions<p><pre><code> $ npm install warriorjs .&#x2F;node_modules&#x2F;warriorjs&#x2F;bin&#x2F;warriorjs </code></pre> really have scared off that many people?

Looks like this is a port&#x2F;clone of Ruby Warrior: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ryanb&#x2F;ruby-warrior" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ryanb&#x2F;ruby-warrior</a>

Reminds me of CodeCombat <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codecombat.com&#x2F;play&#x2F;level&#x2F;codewarrior" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codecombat.com&#x2F;play&#x2F;level&#x2F;codewarrior</a> (which also allows multiple languages)

Is there are &quot;tutorial&quot; for this game? This is a really complex topic and if you&#x27;re trying to teach path finding and other ideas to new programmers it would be really helpful if there was a step by step guide to show the basics of what you&#x27;re trying to help them accomplish. Something that can get them to the top of the tower, but can also be improved upon. Even if it&#x27;s just a code sample for each level that won&#x27;t beat the next level.

Looks pretty cool!<p>I&#x27;ve gotta take the opportunity to plug the interactive version of Ruby Warrior here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloc.io&#x2F;ruby-warrior" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bloc.io&#x2F;ruby-warrior</a><p>It&#x27;s interesting that this style of learning programming fundamentals has taken off such -- Ruby Warrior, The new swift playground announced by apple, and now this Javascript port.

Not particularly the type of AI I would teach people (neural networks, and some symbolic AI) but this looks good for working with kids to learn some programming. My grandkids are visiting and I might see if they are patient enough to try this.

you can also try this out: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;screeps.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;screeps.com&#x2F;</a>

Hey, he stole my ASCII sword idea! <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vorpal.js.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vorpal.js.org</a><p>Although I would argue he found a better use for it.

Looks fun but it has little to do with AI, I expected rather something like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;top-tactic.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;top-tactic.com</a> where you can train NN how to play football just by creating sample situations on the pitch.

This reminds me of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.battlecode.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.battlecode.org&#x2F;</a> by MIT.<p>Both are AI games where you code your own player class, but MIT competition is PVP(player-versus-player) whereas in this one you play alone.

Whether it&#x27;s good &quot;AI&quot; or not, it looks like fun, and that&#x27;s good enough for me.

a Roguelike dungeon crawler is cool, but i&#x27;m not-so-secretly hankering for a procedurally generated text adventure in the style of.. well.. text adventures, requiring programming-orientated input.

How does this game teach artificial intelligence? I can&#x27;t see that.

also, don&#x27;t forget to mention the great <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.elevatorsaga.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.elevatorsaga.com&#x2F;</a> in this context.

What, and somehow create Skynet that kills my computer because I didn&#x27;t program a purpose into it? I don&#x27;t think so.

Another way to learn Javascript: letzcode.com, using text chat.

Not real AI, but just is a simple finite state machine.
