How would I make a good Tetris AI? Have the AI make certain moves for certain moves the player makes or just random moves? Wachar''s Eternity <-<-<-<-<- Me own site!

Random moves in Tetris? Well, the AI should do their best to build as many full lines as possible. I don''t think you have to take special care for the player''s moves...


Yesterday we still stood at the verge of the abyss,
today we''re a step onward!

The way I''d do it is for the current piece, try to fit it in
the best way possible, using every orientation of the piece.
How to define best ? That''s up to you. It can be
completing the most lines or leaving the fewest holes .

Wow, how could you get Tic Tac Toe confused with Tetris?

If you read Radagars source there is a great AI.

Download the Game HERE

And read the reception the game got <a href="http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=107914>HERE (the downloads can also be found there).

OMG, you''re dumb!!

Wachar,

If you don't want to download and dig through my source, here's how I did that AI....

First, I checked to see if the Computer could win in one move. If he could, Move there.

If not, I checked to see if the Player could win in one move. If he could, Block him.

If not, I checked to see if there was any spot on the board where the computer could make 2 in a row, and be one from winning.

If not, I tried moving to the middle square.

If that didn't work, I moved to a random open position.

This does amount to a TON of code, and there may be a better way, but it works. Here's an example.
----------
The way I checked the board was writing 8 blocks of code for the 8 different rows that you could win on and checked to see what was there. I did this for each of the scenarios above.

For example....




Hope this helps!

Grand Master? I''m hardly an apprentice =)

I''m still learning this myself. that Tic-Tac-Toe program took about all I knew. I''m not sure I can do Tetris yet, but I''m trying.

Glad I could be of help.
