My AI would be to hang the game and never give an answer if I saw I was going to lose.
LOL.

I'd just like to commend Sang-drax for this excellent idea and running the tournament....good job bud! rep++
too bad I missed it

>>too bad I missed it <<
Late comers welcome! Of course you'd need to be done writing it by Sunday
Are you guys just writing the AI function to pick the next move or are you writing the entire game? It looks like the front end screens are identical which made me believe you guys just wrote the AI stuff and the main game module uses your code.
Forgive me if I'm being too complex.
Yup, Sang-drax wrote the interface, we just write the getMove() and whatever helper stuff that function needs.
Cool, then I wasn't way off in left field.
jlou vs. Perspective
jlou beat Perspective and advances in the scoreboard. Good job. Notice jlou's playing times vs. Perspectives -- jlou has a really simple AI, but apparently it works well against some types of more advanced searches in late game.
Code:jlou X 3 0 Perspective O 3 1.052 jlou X 3 0.01 Perspective O 3 1.062 jlou X 3 0 Perspective O 3 0.942 jlou X 4 0 Perspective O 5 0 jlou X 2 0 Perspective O 1 0 jlou X 4 0 Perspective O 2 0.34 jlou X 4 0 Perspective O 4 0 jlou X 4 0 Perspective O 2 0.351 jlou X 4 0 Perspective O 5 0.09 jlou X 2 0 Perspective O 2 0.09 jlou X 1 0 Perspective O 1 0 jlou X 1 0 Perspective O 1 0 jlou X 2 0 Perspective O 1 0.06 jlou X 5 0 Perspective O 5 0.04 jlou X 5 0 Perspective O 5 0.02 jlou X 6 0.01 Perspective O 0 0.01 jlou X 6 0 Perspective O 6 0 jlou X 6 0

jlou vs PJYelton
Perhaps not surprisingly, PJ won this game also and the only thing that might me able to stop him now would be Jeremy entering the contest. He told me he had an entry, but he hasn't sent it yet.
Code:jlou X 3 0 PJYelton O 3 0.501 jlou X 3 0 PJYelton O 3 0.471 jlou X 3 0 PJYelton O 3 0.481 jlou X 4 0 PJYelton O 5 0.521 jlou X 2 0 PJYelton O 1 0.4 jlou X 4 0 PJYelton O 4 0.54 jlou X 4 0 PJYelton O 2 0.51 jlou X 4 0 PJYelton O 2 0.38 jlou X 4 0 PJYelton O 2 0 jlou X 2 0 PJYelton O 1 0.01 jlou X 0 0 PJYelton O 0 0

This was one of the coolest contest ideas I've seen on this board. I wish I hadn't missed it, because I was taking an AI class this summer.
Maybe next contest should be playing the "dot game." Not sure what most people call it, but it's a game where the board is a grid of dots, and 2 players take turns connecting adjacent dots. If a player makes a connection that completes a square, then they get a point, and also get to make another mark.

jlou versus LuckY
Despite his extremly poor performace against LuckY last time, jlou now managed to win the game, securing the third place in the tournament. PJ is already the winner, but will he manage to win all his games. Tomorrow will tell.
Code:jlou X 3 0 LuckY O 4 0 jlou X 3 0 LuckY O 5 0 jlou X 3 0 LuckY O 3 0 jlou X 3 0 LuckY O 6 0 jlou X 3 0 LuckY O 6 0 jlou X 4 0 LuckY O 5 0 jlou X 4 0 LuckY O 4 0 jlou X 5 0 LuckY O 6 0 jlou X 6 0

Perspective vs. PJYelton
I expected a close game, like the last one, but PJ won this one pretty quickyl and goes through the tournament unbeaten!
Congratulations!
Code:Perspective X 4 0 PJYelton O 3 0.481 Perspective X 3 0 PJYelton O 3 0.32 Perspective X 3 0.971 PJYelton O 3 0.551 Perspective X 3 0.782 PJYelton O 1 0.972 Perspective X 2 0.721 PJYelton O 4 0.421 Perspective X 2 0.411 PJYelton O 4 0.25 Perspective X 4 2.052 PJYelton O 5 0.291 Perspective X 4 0.33 PJYelton O 4 0.2 Perspective X 5 0.101 PJYelton O 2 0 Perspective X 2 0 PJYelton O 5 0

The tournament is over and PJYelton is the undisputed winner (give him some rep)!
PJ had a really good evaluation function for his standard alpha-beta search. I experimented a little with an evaluation function vs. PJ and the best I could come up with resulted in a tie. The code is quite ugly though, with the board dimensions being hard-coded into the lookup-table. Originally, I was going to make the board dimensions vary a little between games.
It was surprising jlou managed to end up third with his minimalist AI. It even had som severe bug that didn't come during the tournament, but here is a screenshot of a game against me:
I've also attached everyone's AI source code as well as the judging program. Enjoy.

Thanks all, this was a fun contest!
Yeah, I'm not happy with the hard coding at all, thats not something I usually do. I completely changed the AI at the last second and unfortunately ran out of time and couldn't write the functions to dynamically create all of the lookup tables.
congrats PJ, twas a good tournament.
...so whens the next AI tournament gonna start?
Remind me to stop making bets on here.
Good job, PJ
