An expert system that attempts to guess the user's animal in 20 questions or less
This project was created for my Honors Advanced Topics in CS: Expert Systems class at The Harker School, taught by Dr. Nelson.
The system tries to play a game of twenty questions with the user, asking the user questions until it has found an animal consistent with the user's answers. If no animal can be found, the game ends. The question threshold is set to 20, but is a global constant and can easily be changed.
