Click on an animal to add it to your tug-of-war team. When you and the computer have both selected three then the match will begin. The winner of the game is the first one to win seven matches. New teams are selected for each match and the computer always picks first. You'll be able to see the pull strength of each animal by mousing over. However, the computer is only looking at the win-loss statistic to pick its team. As you play it will learn which animals make the best players.
The computer will pick odd, random choices at first and slowly get better. You may need to play a second game before it gets really good. Since it's learning from your choices you have some control over what it learns. Often it's to your advantage to hold back on what is the best choices.
