You don’t want to make a move that will help him win, so you need to think about how he will react to the move you are going to make. It then utilizes a trap determiner module and a move determiner module per newly generated game state. So, for example, you might have 3 checkers going up in a diagonal, and then at the top of the diagonal, you have 3 checkers horizontally. Also note that all updating of the game states, even on the AI side, is done by the HPS to make the interface easier and require latency from on-chip SRAM accesses. So, aside from your winning line, you must also look for other potential four-in-a-row setups you’re not going to pursue and set traps seriously.

SRAM address locations 1-6 contain the 14-bit game states of each of the six Connect Four board rows.

Win at Connect 4 Every Time You Play: Top Strategies How to Win at Connect 4 Every Time You Play: Top Strategies

While the basic premise is simple—get four of your pieces in a row to win—the game can be surprisingly strategic and challenging. Play offensively and try tactics like multi-directional attacks to gain control of the board and make a Connect 4! while() loop and appropriately spreading out our initialization functions so that we can start a fresh game (with a new empty board VGA display and all our internal game state trackers reset). With three horizontal disks connected to two diagonal disks branching off from the rightmost horizontal disk. After the first player makes a move, the second player could choose one column out of seven, continuing from the first player’s choice of the decision tree.Maximize your possibilities of getting 4 in a row by making most of your moves in the center of the board.

Each player has an equal number of pieces (21) initially to drop one at a time from the top of the board. In the above image, we see that if the human player messes up and places their token in column 3, the AI will be able to win on its next turn.The Phantom 4 Advanced controller is compatible with other Phantom 4 series aircrafts except the Phantom 4 Pro V2. As it was using a completely defensive heuristic, it would successfully make moves that blocked long connections and would prevent the human player from easily connecting four in a row. A user was able to play against the AI by inputting their column placements on a terminal, and the VGA would display the Connect Four board in real time with no flickering or other interference. Decision trees can be applied in different studies, including business strategic plans, mathematics studies, and others.
