Tictactoe Complex AI

This is a Complex Powerful JavaScript AI for the Tic Tac Toe Game.

How to install

To install this package on NPM, use the follow command:

npm install tictactoe-complex-ai

or on Yarn:

yarn install tictactoe-complex-ai

How to use

Using this AI is quite simple, you just have to require the package and then you can call createAI to create a new AI instance, like the example below:

const ai = require('tictactoe-complex-ai');

let aiInstance = ai.createAI({level: 'easy'});

The createAI function requires a config parameter that will be used to configure the AI (We will talk about it on the next topic). After you created a new instance, you can call the play function passing the current board to make the play, as you can see here:

// Requires the package
const ai = require('tictactoe-complex-ai');

// Creates a new instance of AI.
let aiInstance = ai.createAI({level: 'easy'});

// Creates a new empty board.
const board = ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''];

// Makes the play
aiInstance.play(board).then(pos => {

  // Success
  console.log('AI plays on the position '+pos);
  
}).catch(() => {

  // Fail
  console.log('An error occurred.');
});

How to configure the AI

The config parameter is a Object with these properties:

• level (required) - It is a String which means what level the AI will use on the instance. There are 4 levels, easy, medium, hard and expert.

• ai - It is a String that means what character represents the AI on the board. Default value is 'O'.

• player - It is a String that means what character represents the Player (Enemy's AI) on the board. Default value is 'X'.

• empty - It is a String that means what character represents an empty space on the board. Default value is ''.

• minResponseTime - It is an Integer that means the minimum time (in milliseconds) it will take to make the play. Default value is 2000.

• maxResponseTime - It is an Integer that means the maximum time (in milliseconds) it will take to make the play. Default value is 5000.
