Choosing a move 1) Find scores at appropriate lookahead… 2) Print the scores. 3) Break ties to determine the next move. ply0 : 0 ply of lookahead ply1 : 1 ply of lookahead ply2,3,4 : 2,3,4 ply of lookahead plyHuman : ask the user printScores : prints the scores to each column breaktie : chooses ONE maximum score findScores chooses one of these methods to run

class Player { public double[] findScores(Board b) { returns the appropriate set of seven scores char checker int lookahead int tiebreakType findScores

plyHuman class Player { // returns a set of scores! // with the user choosing a col public double[] plyHuman(Board b) { ??????? s 0c need to prompt for input need a valid score need to support “hints”

class Player { public double[] ply0(Board b) { double[] s = new double[7]; for (int c=0 ; c<7 ; ++c) { if (b.allowsMove(c)) { s[c] = } else s[c] = } return s; } ply0

Looking ahead … 0 ply: 2 ply:3 ply: random (but legal) choice of move ! (1) player will win (2) player will avoid losing (3) player will set up a win by forcing the opponent to avoid losing 1 ply: X ’s move

2-ply scores for O col 0col 1col 2col 3col 4col 5col 6 1-ply scores for X col 0col 1col 2col 3col 4col 5col 6

‘X’ ‘O’ new‘X’ Col 6 Col 5 Col 4 Col 3 Col 2 Col 1 Col 0 b Choosing the best move (1) For each possible move (2) Create new boards (3) Evaluate and return the seven scores received

class Player { public double[] ply1(Board b) { double[] s = new double[7]; for (int c=0 ; c<7 ; ++c) { if (b.allowsMove(c)) { s[c] = evaluate(b); } else s[c] = -1.0; } return s; } ply1 This is copied directly from the ply0 code!

evaluate class Player { // returns the appropriate score for b // remember: all of Player’s methods are available public double evaluate(Board b) { for a win -1.0 for an invalid move 0.0 for a loss 50.0 for a “tie” Improvements? Write tournamentEvaluate for Ex. Cr.! if ( ) return 100.0; else if ( ) return 0.0; else return 50.0; not possible in evaluate !

class Player { public double[] ply2(Board b) { double[] s = new double[7]; for (int c=0 ; c<7 ; ++c) { if (b.allowsMove(c)) { s[c] = evaluate(b); } else s[c] = -1.0; } return s; } ply2 This is copied directly from the ply0 code!

breaktie class Player { // returns a column to move // public int breaktie(double[] s) { s 0c123456

removeMove class Board { // removes a move from col c // public void removeMove(c) { XOOX X this.data 0 column row XOOX X XOOX X XOOX X XOOX X XOOX X

Good luck on this!

double[] s = player.findScores(b); player.printScores(s); int c = player.breaktie(s);
