Minimax Tic Tac Toe
Try it out: https://wave-tic-tac-toe.herokuapp.com/?board=ox+x+++++
This little app takes a board querystring. board should be a nine character string that represents a tic tac toe board, moving left to right beginning from the top row.
You, human, are x, the computer is o and spaces are represented with +.
The querystring ?board=ox+x+++++ would represent a board that looks like this:
// o | x |
// ----------------
// x | |
// ----------------
// | |The express server does basic board validation and implements a minimax algorithm in deciding the computer's next move.
What's next
The minimax implementation should rank available moves so that the computer wins in the fewest possible turns.
