Team 151's FIRST 2007 GAME SIMULATION!

[riteofwhey]

Sorry, I took for granted people could not peer into the brilliance which is my mind to receive game instructions. Basically, the notation is like chess "<letter><number>", (the freezing is due to the way scanf() works, and I am too lazy to write good error checking) to place spoilers merely select an already claimed space and to remove a spoiler select a place a spoiler has been placed. To my knowledge playing as blue under difficulties 0 or -1 is unbeatable. Also, the capital letters are keepers.

This has been fun to play with, really quite a challenge on the harder levels.

On a side note, when playing as red against -1 difficulty the opponent spends forever thinking after move7 and I gave up after waiting 5 minutes. Is this a glitch in the game, or is it really supposed to think for like 10 minutes?

And I keep getting sooooo close to beating 0 and -1 as blue. Curse spoilers!

For some reason when I tried to use a spoiler it did not count for me, instead it just added another spoiler tube to my opponent. Is this part of the game to simulate if you dropped a tube?

That's because your opponent just took the spoiler right back off, meaning they now have it. You can do the same thing when they place one.

Nope, try this on the very hard as blue

You should win. Also, I'm very interested in the code you're using for the AI. If you'd let me see it, that'd be really awsome but I understand if you don't want to.

If your still up for the challenge try beating it on the secret eaperimental mode '-2'. WARNING: this will take a long time to move.

Wow does it ever take a long time to move... but I beat that one too.
It is a fun game though.

Why would the color team make a difference?
Also...
I have beaten it twice on hard and a few times on easy...With blue. But for some reason I can't beat normal...Go Figure.

it is easier to give the computer the first move (as red), so you can place the last spoiler.
