The Rules for the Challenge are that there will be a 10 Game Match between any two programs,alternating who goes first 5 times each.
My program can save the moves for each game to an external file LASTGAMESSAVED.TXT,so that the games can be checked as being genuine.
If the Match is a Draw ? then the title will be shared until the next Challenge in 2022,which I would like to be a regular event for AI understanding.
Could you describe what type of algorithm you use?
Also could you make a version with gravity like Four in a Row we play here and which I find more interesting and less drawish?
I have used my own algorithm's :) I have no idea what you mean by "a version with gravity like Four in a Row" ?
The ALL4C4 is a totally different type of game to the normal Connect 4.
The rules are simple try to get as many connected lines of 4 in a row! Horizontal/Vertical/Diagonal so for X ="XXXX" AND O = "OOOO"
If you get more in a connected line then the score is 1 point for every 4 so for 5 Example "XXXXX" = 2 lines/points for each 4 etc.
And the other main difference is that from the start each player takes turns to move to any available empty space A1 TO H8
