[ Game ] Four In A Row - Ai Game!

(The logo is taken from google and wasn't made by me)​

Yo guys, Lotem is here!
This time I'd like to share with you a small game I programmed by myself :D

Some Background
I always thought AI (Artificial Inelegance) is a super interesting subject.
Most of you probably remember the AI puzzle from ???, where you have to win the computer in some kind of a sliding game. That was my very first AI (And it was 100% vanilla minecraft and command blocks!).
Since then, I kept creating few different AIs, inside and outside of minecraft, and I learned more algorithms.

The Game
Two days ago I started to code another AI game (in Java), and this time I wanted to share it with you. The game is called "Four In A Row" (or "Connect Four"), and it's a game I personally really enjoy playing with my friends. This game requires lot of thinking and planning ahead your moves.
For more information about the game you can read its wiki page.

The AI isn't perfect - you can win sometimes if you play smart. But for me it's still very cool to see how my basic maths created such a good AI.
(For those who're interested, the AI is based on the Minimax algorithm with Alpha–beta pruning)

* The download is 100% safe, and the game doesn't requires any installations. You just download it and double click the file to play.

I might keep updating the game and post better versions later.

Changelog

Spoiler: May 11th

• Improved graphics (bigger lines, different color for the last placed shape)
• Improved the complexity of code, the AI should work slightly faster
• Improved rules and information window
  
• When someone wins the four shapes in row are now highlighted
• You can now press S to stop the game and restart

If you manage to win a game against the AI, make sure to take a picture and post it here to get some fame!

Good luck and have fun!

 

Took a few goes, but I did 7x6 in 37 turns! Still trying to beat the default 7x7, that Ai is damn smart

Spoiler: Proof

 

Got the default 7x7 in 40 turns. Only took me 1o minutes.

Spoiler: Here's some Proof

Proof

 

So you should try to win in a 10 by 10 board :)

 

I'm dumber than your ai ;-;

 

Finally got the 8x8... wow that took a while.

Spoiler: More Proof

 

yey, 7x6 in 39 turns

 

I decompiled it and looked at the PlayerAI and... I've never seen more interesting code. Props to you

 

Thanks :)
I can share the source code if anyone would like me to.
