Empire Builder for Windows - Reduced the playing time of the continental US
multiplayer locomotive board game from 10-12 hours to 2-4 hours by building it in
Python.
• Algorithms – Used Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm to find the shortest route in
a 10,000-node weighted graph and a non-weighted graph (across train tracks).
• Data Structures – Used lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries to organize data.
• Graphics – Colorful map to differentiate players and potential routes.
• Optimization – Reduced Dijkstra calculation from minutes to seconds.
• Game State – Saved state using JSON. Data set will be used for AI bot training.
