Games AI Bush Plays

AI Bush is always eager to play Blackjack, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and Guess-the-Number.  He also plays a great game of chess at the level of difficulty of your choosing, with either natural language commands or with your mouse. 

HINT: If you ask for help, as in "what should I do?," the AI Bush's chess advice uses the highest search level.  So when playing at a lower level, his own advice will allow you to prevail.

Even simple games such as Rock-Paper-Scissors and Guess-the-Number provide a chance to show the value of emotional expressions by AI Bush during play.  There are plans to give AI Bush an advanced AI algorithm so he will have an edge in playing Rock-Paper-Scissors (Roshambo), so you had better play him soon while his guard is down.

While playing Blackjack, AI Bush can dispense advice just like a professional dealer.  If you ask often enough, "what should I do?" after being dealt a card, AI Bush's context sensitive tips will have you playing like a pro in no time.  All with a natural language interface like no other.  AI Bush deals a version of Atlantic City style Blackjack which allows for splitting and doubling down.  Here are his house rules:

• Dealer stands on soft 17.
• Double down only on initial hands of 8, 9, 10, or 11.
• Only full double, no double-for-less.
• No double after splits.
• No resplitting.
• Surrender is not allowed.

Finally, you can play AI Bush's feature game Reelect Bush?   As his closest advisor, you are primarily responsible for whether he is reelected in 2004.  Or not.  With varying scenarios and probablistic effects, no two games are alike.

Considering the millions of hours spent playing solitaire on computers world wide, AI Bush is surely a good alternative as a time killer.  Additional games are planned, especially those that are well suited for a natural language interface.  Please let us know your suggestions.
