Abstract

Awale game is one of the famous board games from Africa with many variants and is now played worldwide in various forms. In this paper, we propose an open-source Application Programming Interface (API) for developers to allow an easy implementation of the various variants of Awale as well as artificial intelligence based players. The API is available online at https://github.com/Machine-Intelligence-For-You/Awale. Based on this API, we propose a PC Awale game, a mobile Awale game, and an Augmented Reality Game. The Awale API, PC game, and mobile game are implemented in the programming language Java while the game in Augmented Reality is realized with the C# programming language, Unity 3D game engine and the Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK. The various tests carried out show that the API and the different games are totally functional. This API was also used for the first edition of MAIC, an Artificial Intelligence contest https://mify-ai.com/maic2017/.
