Group 3 – Karo ProgressWendyDominikJobJanitaErik

Progress since last week

•Improving the engine•Winning animation•Waiting animation•Board designations•Installer•Settings + Serialization

Demo Karo

Problems during development

•Exception when AI wanted to move a tile•No knowledge of 3D modeling•Improving of Alpha-Beta and Minimax•Generating movable tiles and moves•Coming up with the right evaluation

function

Things done by Erik & Wendy

• First random, minimax and alpha beta• Creating 2D GUI• Evaluation function• Menu structure of 3D game• Options and settings• Rotation of camera• Centering (with animation) and zooming world• Connecting with engine, testing connection• AI vs. AI• Numbers and letters next to the board• First prototype of selecting pieces and tiles• Extending selection method• Undo selection with right mouse button• Middle mouse button rotation, couldn’t test• Debug information

Things done by Dominik

Engine:•first function drafts•UI connector•check for winning board state•algorithms: minmax & alfabeta•transposition table•implementation of transposition table•testing of the algorithms

Xna:•sounds•testing
