Yarn Fever level lab

Play any level from three packs (100 to 200, 600 to 700, 1441 to 1500) with the real basket picking logic: 2 baskets, a 5 slot tray, and up to 2 revives that each add a box for good. Then let three kinds of player bot play it and explain what happened.

How each bot plays

Careless

Never holds to peek. Mistaps the piece next door 5 to 10% of the time, and mixes up look alike colors twice as often as Normal. A distracted player.

Normal

Tuned so its revives per win match live players on levels 100 to 200. Holds to peek under 0 to 2 pieces before each tap, one color under each. Mistaps the piece next door 1 to 5% of the time, and sometimes takes one look alike color for the other (white and light grey, cream and yellow, blue and navy).

Super

Peeks under every piece it can tap, never mistaps and never mixes up colors. The ceiling for careful play.

Baskets

Tray

This level, Monte Carlo

Total revives bought on this level divided by wins.

Each bot played every level 1,000 times, with fresh hidden colors and fresh basket picks each attempt. Levels 159 and 162 are left out because their files list hidden yarn that is not attached to any stack.

Revives per win

Run every level

Plays all 260 levels 1,000 times each with the selected bot, then measures the gap to live revives per win on levels 100 to 200.

Takes a few minutes. Every run uses fresh random seeds, so results move a little from run to run.
