oh yea, I removed it.... I'll like to mail the source to you

No P, kodejuice@gmail.com

FincoApps:
This is just the algorithm. The fact and also issue is evaluating if(computer win). This would be a very long method to check if the current winner is the computer. That's wwhere my problem is.


I tried restricting the search to make it detect only horizontal wins and leave out vertical and diagonal and it became a lot faster. But that's not Tic Tac Toe

Kindly look at the codes dhtml15 suggested here https://www.nairaland.com/2529139/tic-tac-toe-online-game to get an idea of the code

the link over thereis invalid, 404

I'll definitely see to it tonight, I'm a little bit busy now.

ANTONINEUTRON:
abeg diz might be off topic but i notice a problem in php.

For Example::
$i = 1;
while($i<$antoniage){
$i++;
echo $i;
}

once d loop above run finish, if i want to use $i again in another loop(i intend it to still be equal to 1)
it return nothing or False


What might be d problem



Am just a beginner

Scope!, you're declaring the variable in an outer scope and incrementing it in the same outer scope, so its changed everywhere, try this

<?php

$i = 1;
$antoniage = 10; //eg

function fn1($arg) {
$i = $arg;
global $antoniage; //make it accessible from this fn

while ($i < $antoniage) {
$i++;
echo $i;
}
}

fn1($i);

//$i is still 1

I'm also using alpha/beta pruning but the game has a 12 X 10 board so it still has A LOT of moves to calculate..... I figured my scoring algorithm needs to be optimized.... still struggling on it though

function score(node){
if(computer win) return 100;
else if(player win) return -100;
else return 0;
}

since its Tictactoe this would make your game unbeatable, provided you are searching to a reasonable depth.

FincoApps:
LOL dude nor yarb the game, all the moves where hard coded.... I have been trying to implement Minimax algorithm to make it play perfectly but I think this is the hardest algorithm I've dealt with.

I remember begging this seunthomas guy to assist but he completely ignored.... I'm almost there sha

Took me a week to fully grasp that minimax algorithm, but minimax is slow, for speed checkout alpha-beta pruning (a variation of the minimax algorithm but reduces the search tree to return the heuristic score faster)

DanielTheGeek:
Including PHP's max() ?

of cuz, dat one na cheating na.

make una try this one, saw it in a book i'm reading:

Write a method/function which finds the maximum of two numbers. Don use if-else or any other comparison operator.

EXAMPLE
5, 10
=> 5

FrankLampard:
Use any language to solve this very simple.

Question.

By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13.

What is the 10 001st prime number?

Euler? eww

^^^kodejuice

$foo++ returns the value before incrementing.

++$foo increments before returning the value...

That only matters when your echo-ing it, i mean when you do:

$foo = "bar";
$foo++;
echo $foo;

AND

$foo = "bar";
++$foo;
echo $foo;

it outputs d same tin

DanielTheGeek:
The explanation is what I'm looking for in this question, so the person with the best explanation towards the behaviour of the code below gets the points.



What will the above code snippet echo out and why exactly?

"bas" - i dont think this needs an explanation, the last character in the string was incremented. if the string "123" was incremented, the output would be "124". ($var++ !== $var+1)

DanielTheGeek:
I hope I got your attention...
I'm asking not because I don't know it/I can't implement it but because I want to learn more, so I'm asking all the PHP dare-devils and e-wolves in the house to "help me work this thing out".

Note: Please, I prefer us to do more code than talking, lot's of people will also learn from this thread.

First off: My implementation on CodeIgniter was done using preg_replace (regexp) to strip out the @ and fetch the values after the '@' sign then pass it on to a controller that queries the db through a model for the value after the @ sign in my users table on the db. What I'm saying plainly is that, when you type: @FooBar, I strip off the '@' and search for any user called 'FooBar' in my users_table, If found, return a click able link to the view (front-end).
Now, how will you go about implementing yours?

Your approach is fine, i can not even tink of any other now.

braine:
I'm very new to database querying, but why do you need to put the @ with the username when a user wants to search - in the search box(I guess)? The @ is supposes to be for mentioning..

WTF?!, its not a search system its a mention system

LOL

replace ' var temp = coll[i] ' with 'var temp = coll[i].value', thats the source of the NaN, i haven't ran it yet, i just used my built in debugger.


the error occured when you multiplied an html element with a numerical value, so ur browser dey complain.

Error =>

 var temp1 = temp * add_menu_item1

All these game devs, none of you want to make your engine

who told you, they're alot of Nigerian made game engines, some of the devs just dont take it serious, they build it as a fun project and leave it lying on their computer.

When it comes to Next gen graphics i haven't seen any engine that beats the Unreal engine, i've read that the next Unity release will be focusing on that aspect, Unity is very easy to use that's why its more popular and again the Unreal engine was built to make FPS games, but with hacks you can make any kind of game with it.

but for a platformer game, i think Unity will suffice.

Hope this helps 8-)

Thr answer is 20, just subtract 5 from the row's second element.

python is easy but php is easier

stack1:
why is stuff posting twice??

Because you clicked twice. :>

Library?, Looks more like a Framework. It contains UI widgets and yet no graphical sample of what we can achieve with this your Library.

yunglary:
Dhtml if am done do you think anyone would like to use this app when am done?

LoL, see Question

dhtml18:
Do that and you might land yourself a lawsuit. This was what I thought when i made an unofficial API for Nigerian stock exchange, in the end, I had to back-down.

LoL, so you mean if his app allows users to create new posts and post comments, it's ILLEGAL ?

Depending on the Framework used, you can detect if the one you're familliar with is used. Frameworks like jQuery Mobile(this one is obvious), Ionic, Onsen UI. Framework7 is so hard to detect, since it's near Native in terms of UI, both on Android and IOS.

Hmmm, These ur methods will only work on Lower-end devices (i.e 512MB Ram), buts it atcually the best way to detect Hybrid Apps. They lag alot on lower-end devices. But its almost impossible to detect hybridness (Just by seeing), if the App is running on a device that has over 2GB Ram
