Project for the Data Structures and Algorithms course at UniBo 2022-2023, involving the creation of a player for generalised Connect Four able to pick each move within a time limit. L0 and L1 are pre-made players provided by the professor; L0 randomly selects a move each turn, L1 does the same unless it's able to win or block the opponent's win with a certain move.

Compilation

• Command-line compile. In the connectx/ directory run::

    javac -cp ".." *.java */*.java
  

CXGame application:

• Human vs Computer. In the connectx/ directory run:

    java -cp ".." connectx.CXGame 6 7 4 connectx.Telos.Telos
  

• Computer vs Computer. In the connectx/ directory run:

    java -cp ".." connectx.CXGame 6 7 4 connectx.Telos.Telos connectx.L1.L1
  

CXPlayerTester application:

• Output score only:

    java -cp ".." connectx.CXPlayerTester 6 7 4 connectx.Telos.Telos connectx.L1.L1
  

• Verbose output

    java -cp ".." connectx.CXPlayerTester 6 7 4 connectx.Telos.Telos connectx.L1.L1 -v
  

• Verbose output and customized timeout (1 sec) and number of game repetitions (10 rounds)

    java -cp ".." connectx.CXPlayerTester 6 7 4 connectx.Telos.Telos connectx.L1.L1 -v -t 1 -r 10
