  1. The Project And the few things I did Jacobus Harding

  2. Core • The entire core of the project revolves around the minimax function. • Two separate methods for clarity, pass back and forth to each other. • Helper function, availableMoves(finds all open squares) • Does well due to simplicity and speed through which I can traverse the minimax tree.

  3. Evaluate • Simple evaluation function • Checks nodes of minimax tree to see which are wins, which are losses. • Assigns very high, very low values for wins and losses respectively.

  4. Hueristics • At time of submission only one developed, working hueristic. • ForcedBlock • If a node contains an opponent setup with K-1 length(diagonal, horizontal, vertical) immediately stop minimax and block.

  5. IDFS • AI runs extremely slow without IDFS • After one or two moves, times out and error is thrown • Start at certain depth and work your way down if you have enough time • Keep track of time at highest level, before you get lost in the minimax tree so that you can break out simply.

  6. Further Improvements • More heuristics which generally evaluate the board state in each node. • Will decrease time spent on each node since pruning can take place, allowing for a longer DFS.
