Multi-Armed Bandit Game

This game is no longer running. This page describes what it was.

The Multi-Armed Bandit game was Nick's second lockdown game, written in May 2020 with the same asynchronous, turn-based design as Space Miner. It was built around the classic multi-armed bandit problem: how to earn the most from a row of slot machines whose payouts you don't know, balancing trying new machines against sticking with the best one found so far.

Read how it worked in his article: Multi Armed Bandit Game, and the maths behind it in Multi Armed Bandit (2017).

The game depended on a database and on Facebook's login service, so it can't run on this archived, static version of the site.
