Okay, so I have only one thing left to do for my summative to be COMPLETE. I have figured out the algorithm (ish) but need to know how I would code it. So basically it's called "blob wars". When you select a piece you can move either one square or two squares away. One square duplicates your blob at the spot selected, two squares however makes your old one dissapear, and your new one re-appear. So I am dealing with a 2d array of int values. 0 == No occupying blobs. 1 == Null spot (cannot ever be occupied). 2 == Player 1 blob. 3 == Player 2 blob. 4 == Available move adjacent to selected blob. 5 == Availabe move two spaces away from selected blob. So, for my AI, what I reckon I need done is. Go through the 2d array and upon arrival of a 2nd player blob, check all available moves of that blob. Then from all available moves, check all player 1 blobs that would-be converted. Keep doing this until I find the blob with the move with the best outcome ELSE, just pick a random spot (if no spots will gain you blobs) So I currently have methods that: Checks all available spots (works) Check all adjacent spots (unsure) Clears all available spots (works) a temporary counter and a permenant counter, and only when the temporary counter is > maxcounter will it say "this move is the best move". So what I know: I need to store x and y co-ordinate of the spot with the best move then say "boardArray[x][y] = 3;" Any input on how to do this would be amazing

You're being too vague. NOBODY can code what you want until you figure out EXACTLY what it is that you want. Write pseudocode! A tip, your array should only contain values 0 to 3. 4 and 5 should be used for the AI only. Here's what you do: Write pseudocode, this will help you find out EXACTLY what you want. Start simple, just getting the very basics down. Next, start coding. This will be mostly switching out what you just did with actual code, but you may run into a few bumps. Once you get a working algorithm, you can refine it. A big part will be your definition of "best outcome."

[color=#b5b5ff]What you described should be extremely easy to code, just change your words into syntax. However, it sounds like a brute-force approach (check all possible moves and results and find the best outcome), which is rarely the point of writing an AI. Would a simpler (if "dumb"-er) approach be acceptable?[/color]

SEN is not the best place to get fast cheats. I'm sure the brute force method will work fine. I doubt you had time to study the game and look for patterns that show when good moves are available. Also, your code is huge. I hope that contains the programming for the whole game, not just the AI.

I'm sure the brute force method will work fine. I doubt you had time to study the game and look for patterns that show when good moves are available.
Also, your code is huge. I hope that contains the programming for the whole game, not just the AI.
