Random AI player

[krystian1201]

The simplest case - just choose any random word that satisfies the constraints

[krystian1201]

First move - easiest case

• One constraint - word has to go through the center of board
• We can play at most 7-letter word

[krystian1201]

Random location on board, random orientation, random word length and, finally, random word

[krystian1201]

Move 2nd and above - next case

[krystian1201]

AI player needs tiles rack

[krystian1201]

AI and human needs to share tiles bag

[krystian1201]

There is some problem with randomly choosing word's orientation - the Random.Next() method always returns the same number. Replaced Next(0,2) with Next(0,10) - a little better

[krystian1201]

For move 2 and above we need not only the state of tiles rack, but also the state of board and the "anchor" tile

[krystian1201]

Tiles in tiles rack need to be refilled from tiles bag after each move - seems to work

[krystian1201]

To add - checking if the new tiles don't form invalid words in any direction

[krystian1201]

The AI "hangs" when the tiles rack is partially empty

[krystian1201]

The tiles put by AI player on board needs to be put inside Board array. Assigning them position on board is not enough

[krystian1201]

If the tiles form some invalid words, they should be taken away from board.

[krystian1201]

I can add checking for repetitions in random words

[krystian1201]

Method checking for invalid words can also collect the words formed by tiles in different directions. It can be used later for scoring
