18,318 PointsMinimax Algorithm and Tic-Tac-Toe
Hi all.
I am trying to build a tic-tac-toe project in JS with an 'AI' player. After some research I found the minimax algorithm which basically involves creating a program that uses recursion to look ahead at all possible moves both players can make and returns a value so that the AI can evaluate which square to choose. I understand the algorithm itself but I really struggle with how to approach putting that into JS. Has anyone had any experience with this that they could pass to me? Really stuck now!
