Can you beat my game on hard?

AphexDreamer · Nov 10, 2014

If you do please post a screenshot or recording and let me know how you did it!

Also if you have any feature requests or dislikes please inform me! I'm trying to make this as solid of a game as possible.

The name align & chime is because I anticipate having notes played when the game pieces are played and when you align to win it will play them back or perhaps just play a chime! I haven't yet decided on the chime so if anyone has any ideas that would be great!

Here is the link. Its a unity game so you will need unity web player to play it.

Thanks!

Took me a few tries but it was fun.

1) How is scoring based, the fewer the moves the higher the score?
2) A feature request: Option to save the settings.

3) A feature request: Allow ten-key enter button to work.

Thanks! Is it repeatable? As in you can do that over and over and win every time?

Score system still needs some work. But yeah basically the fewer the moves the more points you can get. However, I need to punish people for losing.

Seems pretty random on the AI part. I tried about 5 times and won a different way. The key is to start in the center.

AphexDreamer · Nov 10, 2014

I think I know whats going on. Trying to fix it. Thanks again.

AphexDreamer · Nov 10, 2014

Ok so I think I fixed it and I'm uploading the new one!

let me know if that trick still works!

I think I accidentally uploaded the wrong version because the version number didn't change. Sorry!
Should say 2.7.0!

EDIT: But it doesn't matter because it still flawed.

I have to think about my AI some more.

EDIT: Ok last quick upload V2.7.1

But what I think is happening is that while I focus in one win area it effects the other outcomes and makes them easier.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Nov 10, 2014

A little to easy. That was first try.

AphexDreamer · Nov 10, 2014

Is there any way to draw if the first person gets to go first and knows what there doing in a 5x5x4 game?

I'm starting to think there isn't?

Like even if I could have it anticipate every move, someone who knows what their doing will always win because they have the center piece.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Nov 10, 2014

I have found a way to win every time in very few moves

AphexDreamer · Nov 10, 2014

I think the key thing I'm missing is that I have to note which center piece they choose and change the AI's behavior accordingly. Because they can choose absolute center or one of the side centers and win. Unless I have my AI know and block.

But again I'm not sure if AI can ever draw or win against someone who knows what they are doing and gets to go first.

Try not going first? Still easy?

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Nov 10, 2014

Yeah if we pick center we basically have it beat. As long as we can react to it's placement with the right move we can win everytime.

I will say you are very close to perfect. As it seems to "anticipate" moves sometimes and make you think

And that is what I'm starting to see is the truth. Wouldn't matter how good I make it.

Unless I make it aggressive and not just defensive. But still might not matter.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Nov 10, 2014

Oh it's good and addictive that's for sure.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Nov 10, 2014

I can almost play this thing all day. And the music is soothing. It has gone from can you beat it to how many times in a row can you beat it and how little of moves can you beat it in.

AphexDreamer · Nov 10, 2014

Thanks for all the feedback and comments! I think I have a good idea on how to improve the AI and hope to have it up soon.

Mindweaver · Nov 10, 2014

Aww.. I was coming back to play more.. lol The hardest level is good, but with an unlimited amount of time it's still fairly easy to beat. I suggest adding a Time limit for each round to increase user error. hehe

It was a bit random. As it is now I think I've got it but the stopChanceList is storing slots that I'm not quite sure where its getting and resulting in stupid plays at times. The right slot is in there but it also has bad slots. I'm trying to see how I can make it just use the right one out of the list.

I get extra credit if I make it unbeatable so that is what I'm going for. Although it would probably be more fun if one could beat it every now and then which I can still have it do.

3x3 Tic-Tac-Toe is a solved problem that, if I recall correctly, is unwinnable if both players know what they're doing. I suspect it can be extrapolated to a larger variant with the same results.

EDIT: Wikipedia confirms it is a draw. And the result is the same for yours (5,5,4) though it is not a general rule. Regardless, implementing it is another thing.

AphexDreamer · Nov 11, 2014

Well I think I've finally done it. I toiled all night but I think I manged to do it. To tired to test it thoroughly though so if TPU can that would be awesome.
You can right click to make it full screen then quit to have the GUI scale better.

Here is the link same as OP.

Good Luck!

Well then we need a 1 second timer..

There is a lot of things that can be done to add to this game like remove the center spot.
