Filler is a player algorithm for a 2D puzzle game with the same name. The game is played in a rectangle grid map with two players. The objective is to take turns placing randomly generated shape tiles to the map until one of the players cannot play a legal move. The last player able to set a new piece will win the round.

Because both players set their pieces on the same map, the game eventually comes to trying to maximize the amount of your own future plays while trying to disrupt your opponent from doing the same.

My public repository contains a virtual machine for running the games, a Makefile to compile my player, and a bunch of other people’s public Filler players. Needless to say, my player algorithm stands to this day undefeated, as it will continue to do in the future.
