T ictactoe A I - detective work for python beginners
This is an open ended programming project for beginners. Its aims are to:
- Increase familiarity with the command line.
- Demystify the basic ideas behind AI.
- Demonstrate and encourage the use of documentation.
tai can work especially well as a follow up assignment to this in class activity: Winning games: the perfect tic-tac-toe player.
- booleans
- variables
- lists
- loops
- functions
tai functions best as an assignment where students do not have direct access to the source code in the /tai directory. I recommend compiling those files:
python -m compileall tai
Provide students with the compiled files along with the lab3.py file. All instructions are located in this file. It is especially important that students do not access the ai.py file as this file contains potential AI solutions.
Don't open the /tai directory untill you have completed your own code! Follow the instructions in the comments of lab3.py.
