This game allows the player to play against an AI of varying difficulty. The Medium and Hard difficulties were programmed using the minimax algorithm, commonly used in game theory to think of all the game's possibilities multiple steps in advance.
These are the different difficulties:
Easy difficulty- computer makes random moves
Medium difficulty- computer attempts to block basic attempts to win while also trying to win itself
Hard difficulty- computer actively predicts how the player will try to win and blocks these attempts, while also trying to win itself
