Hi,
This isn't really a direct answer to your question - but when I made a
little tic-tac-toe game, I just had a list of winning states and searched
through this. For example,
on mInit me
wins = []
wins.append([1,2,3])
wins.append([4,5,6])
wins.append([7,8,9])
wins.append([1,4,7])
wins.append([2,5,8])
wins.append([3,6,9])
wins.append([1,5,9])
wins.append([3,5,7])
end
on mCheckForWin me, pState, playerID
-- the game state was a list like this
-- [0,0,"X","O","X",0,0,0, 0]
-- the playerID was either "X" or "O"
repeat with j = 1 to 8 -- 8 possible wins
thisWin = wins[j]
hits = []
repeat with i = 1 to 3
if pState[thisWin[i]] = playerID then hits.append(thisWin[i])
else exit repeat
end repeat
if hits.count = 3 then return hits
end repeat
end
You could prune the search (eg. if the player doesn't have grid location 1,
then that rules out wins 1, 4 and 7 -- but since it is such as small state
space, I figured that director would repeat through a bunch of lists quicker
than trying to do some fancy maths).
