Constructor Detail

PlayerVsAlgorithmGame

public PlayerVsAlgorithmGame()

Constructor for class PlayerVsAlgorithmGame.
Initialize parent(Game class) constructor with a name of second player.

Method Detail

makeFirstMove

public Game makeFirstMove()

This method overrides parent Game.makeFirstMove() method.
According to the MiniMaxAlgorithm specific, it is always return as MiniMaxAlgorithm.findBestMove() result first positive value of the MiniMaxAlgorithm move, if the MiniMaxAlgorithm will be make a move in an empty game field it is always will be first cell. So for making first move more variable, this method returns randomly chosen one of the 4 starting positions(corners of the game field).

Specified by:

makeFirstMove in class Game

Returns:

PlayerVsPlayerGame with a first move of the algorithm.

makeMove

protected void makeMove()

This method overrides parent Game.makeMove() method.
Method create an object of the MiniMaxAlgorithm class, and call his MiniMaxAlgorithm.findBestMove() method to receive number of game field cell to which put the algorithm name value. This cell will be a MiniMaxAlgorithm move in the game.
