Games, software, and writing by Brian Berns.

Games and Apps

Hearts card game: Most Hearts AI's are too easy to beat, so I used machine learning to create a more challenging opponent. (Works best on desktop.)

LLM plays NetHack: Watch a chatbot struggle to play NetHack, a classic dungeon exploration game.

Particle Lenia: A continuous cellular automaton.

Pips solver: Solve today's New York Times "Pips" game automatically.

Setback card game: An awesome card game that's also known as Auction Pitch. Setback is what Bridge would be like if Bridge was actually a fun game. (Works best on desktop.)

Stock trading bot: An AI agent plays the market.

Tactix: A visual logic game that's not like anything else.

Software

GitHub: Open-source software I've written.
