AI – Artificial Intelligence – PBP Challenge For The Fittest

[T.Jackson]

I spent about a month studying Tic-Tac-Toe and developing the Windows-based software. Had a lot of fun doing this project as it gave me a greater sense for logic and a bit of an insight as to how the human mind thinks.

I tried many different protocols for AI. Including one that favors blocking the players move over winning the actual game itself. I was unable to produce anything successful with this. I think this is actually impossible, you just can't play the game with sole intentions of blocking. You've gotta play to win.

Interesting stuff - if it's your cup of tea.

OK,

Well, I'll take that as there wasn't really a "Challenge" to begin with.

Nevermind.

Oh I don't know about that. Coding a project like this in PBP would be twice as involved as doing it in Visual Basic. In fact, I don't know of any perfected Tic-Tac-Toe project that relies solely on an embedded system.

You keep telling me how it's such a difficult task, and would take months to figure out.

And I keep telling you I've done it with a 16F and less than 4K words of code.

He said, she said.

Prove it, or go home.

You know, if you stand on your head for a few minutes and count backwards from 1,000 you eventually loose gravity.

There's 2 days of my life I'd rather have back.
