AI book that I got for Christmas

Santa brought me "Artifical Intelligence: A Modern Approach" for Chrimstas. I've looked through it and it looks very good. (It does seem readable versus other AI books.) Lets hope that it helps the AI for Forge 2. The book has psuedo-code so even though the book was prinited in 1995, it still has a ton of useful information.

I received the first edition which was very reasonably priced at $15 at the used bookstore. I believe the book has been there for years, ha.

So it should really be titled "Artificial Intelligence: A Slightly Dated Approach".

A fine book mtgrares, but may i suggest looking into reinforcement learning algorithms, as the search space of a magic game is daunting for any of the classic search algorithms mentioned in the beginning chapters of that book (depth first, breadth first, A*). I just have a hunch that reinforcement learning is the way to go for MTG applications.

Reinforcement learning (RE) looks very good. I found some Java code online that does RE, so I just have to plug in the right parts.
