pong game with reinforcement learner

hi,
i am new to java, and looking to make logic to develop simple PONG game with any reinforcement algorithm learner. the game should be played by one human and one bot (auto player). it should be 2 dimensional and in the beginning ball should be in the middle of playing field. reinforcement learner help to bot to play game against any other player or bot. the ball is sent in random direction whereas if the ball hits top or bottom of the screen it bounces and if it hits left or right side of the screen, the player whose bat is at same side loses. learn model parameter values should be saved and shown in file

Ok, you game us a description of a school assignment. How about you show your efforts so far, and tell us where you're stuck. Also, first make the game without any AI, 2 player only. When you have a working game, then you can worry about the learning algorithms.

Google the Swing tutorials and search the forum for animation examples. You've a lot of studying to do. Much luck!

I have only 1 and half month

hi,
i appreciate your suggestion. but i have one and half month to accomplish this task. therefore, requires some structural or object oriented suggestion to learn quick and effective.

The quickest and most effective way is the one suggested by Fubarable, looking up a few examples and tutorials. I tried to make a Pong game myself with no prior knowledge or experience of swing components. After fiddling around with a few tutorials I had the basic game running in about 4 hours. That leaves you with the whole month and a half to work on the AI.

I sure wish I knew of a short-cut of getting this stuff into our brains, but I don't. If you find one, please let us know!
