How the AI Works
The Minimax AI is a decision-making algorithm commonly used in two-player, turn-based games like
chess, tic-tac-toe, and checkers. It assumes both players will play optimally: one aims to maximize
their score (the maximizing player), while the other aims to minimize it (the minimizing opponent).
The algorithm explores all possible moves and outcomes to construct a game tree, evaluating the value
of each position through a scoring function. It then selects the move that maximizes the player’s
chances of winning, assuming the opponent will also play optimally to minimize the player's
advantage.
