though you say this video is not about MCTS, this video has helped me understand the basics of MCTS more efficiently than any other resource I've seen!

[@JustAGiraffe]

What a great representation of MCTS and an awesome tool to go with it. Thanks for your work - it helped me understand the intuition behind the algorithm.

[@applejuice5785]

Thanks this made the MCTS concept really clear

[@kunmy3704]

Finally, I understand how the algorithm works. Thanks!!!

[@tienna-yuri]

It was a great visualization about MCTS!! This help me a lot, thank you!!!

This is pretty cool man, I was looking for videos like this one, a step by step simulation is the best way to learn.

[@metin4yt]

This is great, congratulations!

Thanks! Very helpfull visual app

Hi. I aspire to be like you. Thank you for the video.

[@dipankarpurecha5564]

Hi, thanks a lot for this. I wanted to ask, do you save the states of the random simulations in order to avoid repeating the same simulation?

[@koenvleugel5793]

What is the exploration parameter (c) in this example? 2.14? And how do you determine what the exploration parameter should be?

[@viniciusgarcia8461]

Hi! The exploration parameter C can be anything you want, but it is usually determined empirically - in this example we assume c = sqrt(2) since this is the value often used in many applications.

BRAVO, How can your repo only have 12 stars? ( 13 stars now

[@user-vr1ku3po8f]

only one suggestion, use bigger canvas and reverse the way to scale (current way is against our habit).

[@viniciusgarcia8461]

​@@user-vr1ku3po8f Thank you for the comment and for the suggestions! I have reversed the way to scale as you suggested, I had not noticed that but in retrospect you're totally right! The canvas size is not as straightforward to change and I will take a look at it later. Cheers :)
