Connect Four: Prototype Connect Four: Prototype

In Connect 4, an empty space equivalent to connecting three hard drives is a threat. Sometimes this is overlooked as one can focus on the available holes. You shouldn’t fill these holes as this could cause your opponent to connect.

An even number shows in how many further half-moves the game can be wonnumber shows a winning move, which guarantees a win for the current player (if she continues to play optimal) in at Regarding things we might do differently for our AI design, there are additional features we may be able to add to it. For example, we currently drive the VGA display using the HPS. By integrating VGA display into the FPGA, we could be able to update the display faster (this may even allow us to add fancy animations, such as showing discs dropping and making a sound when they hit the bottom, which was not done due to the delay from the HPS in constantly writing and overwriting a disc). Regarding the software design itself that is running on the HPS, as aforementioned, the main goal of the C code is to act as an intermediary between the FPGA (which is actually computing the AI’s next move) and the VGA display of the Connect Four board. Additionally, due to the remote nature of this semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we also needed to utilize the C code to serve as the user’s interface for inputting their moves into the game.

most this number of half-moves. An optimal winning move is a move which guarantees the shortest available sequence of When the game begins, the first player gets to choose one column among seven to place the colored disc. There are 7 columns in total, so there are 7 branches of a decision tree each time. After the first player makes a move, the second player could choose one column out of seven, continuing from the first player’s choice of the decision tree.

The Connect Four game infrastructure is implemented in C and runs on the HPS while the AI logic is implemented in hardware on the FPGA. The current game state is communicated between the HPS and the FPGA via shared SRAM memory. There were three main fronts upon which we evaluated our design: (1) speed of execution, (2) gameplay awareness, and (3) correctness. by placing the coin in that column (assuming optimal play of the opponent, otherwise you can win faster). An odd Where given a rowArray representing the current game state along with a moveColumn and moveRow dictating exactly where the piece is to be placed, a profit value is assigned for a specific direction based on the number of consecutive player pieces such that longer connections result in higher profits. These values are calculated for the top left, top right, left, right, bottom left, bottom right, and bottom directions, and summed up to give an overall profit value. This summation occurs within the maxConnectFinder module, and seven of these modules are instantiated in the moveDeterminer module, one corresponding to each column of the game board. The profit values for all seven are calculated, the maximum profit is found, and the column holding that maximum is chosen as the move. In a tiebreaker scenario, priority is given to the middle column, then alternating left and right going towards the outer edges of the board since moves placed closer to the middle tend to have higher potential for connections. A basic strategy of any game is that if you do not want to lose you must prevent your opponent from winning. In Connect 4 you have to defend yourself against the tactics of your opponent and insert the discs into the holes that allow you to connect four discs.
