i've almost fnished with first version of a tic tac toe game i've made in vb express, it's pretty simple. right now only 2 people can play against each other on the same computer, so i would like to work on making playing against the computer an option. so i need to any resources to help me get started on the basics of game ai, and some simple code samples(any form of basic will do). anything would be helpful. ------------------ proverbs 25:7 www.gfa.org - Gospel for Asia www.persecution.com - Voice of the Martyrs |

Look for sites on Chess AI theory. I've read quite a bit myself, and its been helpful. They've been doing chess AI since the 60's, so there's a lot of theory out there that applies directly to any board game. Basically, the idea is this, when it's the computer's move, test all possible moves, analyze the resulting gameboard, as well as the possible countermoves. Do that recursively, and you should be able to find the best move. Since tic-tac-toe has a relatively small number of possible move combinations, you probably can calculate through all possibilities and just check for win/lose/tie situations. Chess is a little more complicated, there are apparently more possible game combinations then there are stars in the known universe or something along those lines. ------------------ |

yeah, I can let you see the code I used to make a tic tac toe game in Java. I use the Game Theory. (chess AI) it's unbeatable. maybe not exactly what your looking for, but you can always edit and implement. ------------------ |

thanks for the links and advice. i'd be very interested in seeing your java code arch, i should be able to get the general idea of the ai. ------------------ proverbs 25:7 www.gfa.org - Gospel for Asia www.persecution.com - Voice of the Martyrs |
