|---|---|---|---|
|
the game pits a human player (the user) against an AI (encoded in your program)
|
|
||
|
the player and AI have distinct markers; one is X, the other is O
|
|
||
|
a 2D array or 1D vector of strings is used to represent the board
|
|
||
|
the main logic of the program is coded in the body of a loop that finishes when the game is over
|
|
||
|
on each iteration of the loop, the player is given a turn, followed by the AI
|
|
||
|
at the player's turn, they are asked to enter the column where they would like to place their marker and the program figures out which row based on where previous markers in that column rest
|
|
||
|
after each player's turn, a check is made to see if one of the players has won (four in a row diagonally, horizontally, or vertically) or there is a draw
|
|
||
|
on the AI's turn, the AI selects an open column randomly or one that will block the human player
|
|
||
|
the program compiles
|
|
||
|
the program runs without crashing
|
|
||
|
the program behaves as a "normal" player would expect

|
|
||
|
the source code includes useful comments that clarify logical chunks of the program
|
|
||
|
the source code uses appropriate indentation
|
|
||
|
the source code uses appropriately placed blank lines to separate the code into chunks that hang well together
|
|
||
|
the source code includes a comment at the top stating whether you worked alone or with others, and if so, who you worked with
|
|
||
|
the source code includes a citation for any code not from the zyBook or from class
|
|
||
|
after each player's turn, the board is displayed with the player's and AI's markers in the correct spots
|
|
||
|
after each player's turn, if the game is over, the status (who has won or if there is a draw) is correctly displayed to the terminal
|
|
||
