Wikipedia Game - Hack the North 2017

While creating this game, we decided to take a twist on the classic Wikipedia game that every child has undoubtedly played while growing up. The rules of the game is as follows:

• a starting Wikipedia page is defined
• an target Wikipedia page is defined
• the player must start from the starting Wikipedia page and get to the target Wikipedia page whilst only clicking embedded links on each Wikipedia page
• the goal of the game is to simply reduce the number of clicked links needed to get from the starting page to the target page

Our team decided to create a web app that requires the use of smart bots in order to solve the classic Wikipedia game with maximized efficiency. It also generates a graph to represent the path of the links that were clicked, and their respective proximity to the target link.
