I think the word 'basic' is very subjective. =) Let me put it to you this way... I'm starting with C and tictactoe with 'C Programming Visual Quickstart Guide' as my handholding syntax reference. =) > >I may not be able to answer all your questions, but I'm sure willing to give it >a shot. > >Dave Many thanks. The thing that bugs me most is understanding and implementing minimax. I understand that you have to go down the tree then up the tree etc. But the implementation is still very alien to me. UnmakeMove()(?).. I initially thought getting an explaination in english instead of code would be better.. now I'm not so sure. My plan is to implement it in tictactoe. If I can't understand that, better to give up right now. =) Thanks, Steve.
