Dooz Puzzle game for Android description
I created this implementation using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for Android devices.
Features
Technical
- Jetpack Compose
- Material3 and Dynamic Color
Game
- Variable game board grid size from three-by-three to nine-by-nine (Larger than nine-by-nine is simply ridiculous and unplayable in mobile phones)
- Variable game AI difficulty (easy, medium, hard)
Variations
Simple Game
The Simple game is the most simple variation of Tic-tac-tao with a three-by-three grid with two players. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal is the winner.
Simple Game AI
Currently, in hard mode, AI uses a strategy rather than an AI search algorithm like MinMax. This strategy consists of these steps: Win, Block, Fork, Block Fork, Center Play, Corner Play, and Side Play.
Strategys source: Flexible Strategy Use in Young Childrens Tic-Tac-Toe by Kevin Crowley, Robert S. Siegler.
In Easy difficulty, AI plays a random empty cell in the grid. In Medium difficulty, AI chooses between Easy difficulty and Hard difficulty for each move based on a 50/50 chance.
