Detailed Description

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ BadMove

enum BadMove

strong

Types of invalid or illogical moves this thinker can make.

Enumerator
AboveColumn	Place a piece on a column above the number of existing columns.
BelowColumn	Place a piece on a column below the number of existing columns, i.e., at -1.
Repeat	Always try to place a piece in the same column.
NoMove	Return a FutureMove.NoMove.
Timeout	Always terminates with a timeout.
Uncooperative	Refuses to terminate execution.
Exception	Throw an exception.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Setup()

override void Setup ( string str )

inlinevirtual

Specify type of invalid move the thinker will make.

Parameters

str	A string representation of BadMove values.

Exceptions

ArgumentException Thrown when an unknown option is given in str .

See also: AbstractThinker.Setup

Reimplemented from AbstractThinker.

◆ Think()

override FutureMove Think	(	Board	board,
		CancellationToken	ct
	)

inlinevirtual

Perform a move.

Parameters

board	The game board.
ct	A cancellation token.

Returns: The move to be performed.

The main thread may ask the thinker to stop thinking. As such, this method should frequently test if a cancellation request was made to the cancellation token (ct ). If so, it should return immediately with no move performed, as exemplified in the following code:

if (ct.IsCancellationRequested) return FutureMove.NoMove;
