I am having a problem with my TTT ai. I need an ai that would check for blank space and randomly put the piece in.
Can any1 give any suggestion?
Part of my code is as below.

void getMove(bool player)
{
	int GetAIMove()
	{ //here's the part i need help with
}

	int choice;
	if (player)
	{
		cout << "Enter Your Move; "; << endl;
		cin >> choice;
	}
	else
	{
		choice = GetAIMove();
		cout >> "Computer's Move: " >> choice >> endl;
	}
	
	while(choice > 9)
	{
		cout << "Invaild Move!" << endl;
		cout << "Enter number between 1 to 9 ONLY!" << endl;
		cout << "Enter your move again!" << endl;

		cin >> choice;
	}


	if(correctDrop(choice))
	{
		if(player == true)
			board[choice-1] = 'X';
		else
			board[choice-1] = 'O';
	}
	else
		getMove(player);
	display();
}

Wow! That code looks amazingly like my post here. It even includes the misspelling from post #1 on that thread. Are you sure that is your code or every1play's code?

What have you tried so far? Can you show us your code?

Hey dude!
Did u just copy my code? Anyways thanks to skydiver i solved that problem.
U would need to check for blank space using counter. Then put in the code.

If we, for a moment, assume that it was just some weird fluke that your code here happened to parallel the code in the other thread, then there is not enough information. What is the significance of the choice values 1-9? How will GetAIMove() access the board data? Is the board data global or something that should be passed in? If it is global, what is the name of the global variable? Is the AI allowed the leave the board with values of it trial moves or does it need to cleanup after itself?

On the other hand, if you tell us that your code also looks like the code on the other thread, there maybe enough information to start figuring out how to make an AI.

I admit that that's not my code.....
I just wanted to know how to make an ai for my own reference i just browse through the web and saw that thread but i still dun understand what Skydiver said.
Sorry for all these inconvenience caused.

Actually it was Salem_c who helped you the most by suggesting the method for finding a good move for the computer. I was just the sarcastic a**hole trying to get you to code it up. I'm glad that you got your assignment done because you had some pretty good code shaping up in that thread, and all you really needed was just to get the AI implemented.

Hmm. I think it would be better if your the computer would firstly try to get the middle cell , then the ones in the corners then the rest
Of course , in that case that he couldn't win with the next move nor he couldn't lose in the next turn .
