Examples
Not all AI players need to be controlled by computers. A 'robot', really a set of instructions that a human needed to follow, was introduced in the expansion 'The Gathering Storm' of the card game Race for the Galaxy. This 'robot' allows a single player to player against it as if a two-player instance of the game was being played. An even earlier example of an AI Player was 'MENACE' by Donald Michie which could not only play Tic-Tac-Toe but got better after each time it played. Developed when access to computers where limited, it was first implemented through the use of beans and about 300 matchboxes[1].
