Sayu Board Game

[TerryRitchie]

@TerryRitchie is that a standard Connect 4 game? I only saw 3 X 4 rows? and columns? in the check for win part.

Yes, it's standard game. I probably had some reason for only checking 3x4 at some point in the game, probably the minmax portion. It's been so long since I created this thing I don't remember.

It's interesting I threw out a similar challenge at Steve's old ProBoards forum and ARB took me up on it but refused to share source so I refused to run his exe's.

Personally I believe if you are a Basic coder you shouldn't be uptight about sharing code. If you want to do top level security stuff stay away from public forums.

Anyway, might be fun to resurrect and update codes.

Apologies to @Donald Foster for drifting off topic.

I believe this coding challenge was around 2012 and if I remember correctly there were about 6 or so of us that submitted finished projects. I did not win, nor should it have, because the AI portion of my game absolutely stinks. I don't remember the winning entry but it blew my game away. My mistake was entering the challenge late and putting myself in a rush to polish a turd.

I remember ARB. Didn't he start causing problems for the community at one point?
