This project explores one way to write programs that can make these kinds of decisions, that provide a kind of artificial intelligence (AI). In our case, we'll focus our efforts on techniques based around search trees, which will also give you more practice with the kinds of algorithms that can be used to traverse tree-based structures and with implementing a more complex recursive algorithm than the ones you built in the which will be a necessary skill for our later work.
