I have a program to play Reversi where a user plays against an AI(Algorithm), however I need a program where 2 algorithms play against each other.
I have a program to play Reversi where a user plays against an AI(Algorithm), however I need a program where 2 algorithms play against each other. I don't know how to change the program so that the 2 algorithms can play against each other.
These are the rules:
In this project you are required to:
1. Implement Reversi for a board size of n x n where 4 ≤ n ≤ 16 and n is always even.
2. Implement two different algorithms that will play Reversi against each other e.g. an algorithm that randomly chooses a valid move may be one of your algorithms.
You are required to develop a computer program in C++ that allows two different algorithms to compete against each other in a game of Reversi. Your code must meet the following specifications:
• Read in a list of numbers specifying board sizes from a file. • Every game must begin in the starting configuration as seen in figure 1. • Algorithm 1 will take alternating turns with algorithm 2 at placing their markers in the grid. • A marker cannot overwrite already filled position in the grid. • The list of moves made by each algorithm must be stored to an output file.
Figure 1:
4, 4
Example of output:
size = 4 (r=row, c=column)
r0c1 alg1 , r1c1
r0c0 alg2 , r1c1
r1c0 alg1 , r1c1
r2c0 alg2 , r1c0 r2c1
r3c1 alg1 , r2c2
r2c3 alg2 , r2c2
r3c2 alg1 , r2c2
r0c3 alg2 , r1c2
r1c3 alg1 , r1c2 r2c3
r0c2 alg2 , r0c1 r1c1
r3c0 alg1 , r2c1
r3c1 alg2 , r2c1
alg1 = 7
alg2 = 9
win = alg2
