C++,minimax game

Hi

I wrote a program for a two player game that involves the difference
between 2 given numbers. The players take turns entering the
differences between two numbers that start as random numbers and then
the board includes all differences entered so far. I found the
possible solutions by implementing euclids algorithm. The game sort
of
works but I now need to implement it using minimax with alpha beta
pruning. I dont understand how to implement it since there is no best
move needed except that the winner can be determined by who goes
first
and how many solutions there are. Any ideas... I could email my code
if necessary or post it...it is long though.
Thanks

Sounds like you should post in comp.programmin g or perhaps a math-group
instead.

I have been trying to learn how to do a c++ tic tac toe game, with first implementing the game tree in a function and then having the AI in another function which uses minimax algorithm.

Hello. The last weeks I've been coding a roguelike (you know, like nethack) in python using the nCurses library. Some week ago I ran into a problem: When I made the object for messagebar-output, I found a bug that I can't figure out (believe me; I've tried everything and asked for help several times on the IRC-channel). The updateMsg() and iMsg() takes a list of message-lines as argument (or process a string to a list), and it'll output...

Hi, i have a bit of a problem here. I have an assignment to do an animal guessing game using an original database and updating it as the user enters new animals in it. The program enters the file data into an array of structures, with the animal and question in the same variable(question) and the bool isAnimal tells me whether its an animal or a question. If its a question it is followed by two numbers; one for the position of the line to go...

hello i got frustrated after making several tries to make the minimax algorithm work in my console tic tac toe. the problem is the algorithm doesn't play the game as it should.The thing is it just tries to play the move that it 'sees' to be the best for itself without caring that its opponet is building an easy three to win the game. For ex. it playing as second player as ist player row=0;col=0; minimax player row=2;col=1; ist player...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
