Hi everyone,
Here's an initial 2-player implementation of Draughts. I ended up doing this essentially from scratch, since that was easier than adapting something pre-existing. However, I haven't started working on the 1-player mode AI yet. That might take a lot longer! (Note that there is an Auto ON/OFF toggle, but it doesn't do anything yet...)
This game only allows valid moves, and recognises both types of win (outright victory by taking all your opponent's pieces AND your opponent has no valid moves). It has an undo with depth 10.
I've tested it on my 600, and it works. Next step, AI...
Sincerely,
BenChen.
UPDATE 1: I have added an initial AI routine. The AI code is based on a Draughts game by Kurt Grigg (
http://www.hypergurl.com/games/draughts.html) But I have adapted it and refined it, adding a couple of extra steps, which has improved the difficulty a little.
UPDATE 2: I noticed that occasionally the AI would hang, so I tracked that bug down.
