As a project to get myself with Haskell, I’ve been working on implementing a commandline version of Tic-Tac-Toe along with a minimax AI to play with. I’ve finished that and it’s available at https://github.com/changlinli/tictactoe-haskell.
Along the way I used a little bit of the Haskell test-framework package to
automate my unit tests and quickCheck tests. Unfortunately, I complete skipped
the part on the test-framework example page which mentions that
test-framework-quickcheck2 and test-framework-hunit are needed in order to
actually run quickCheck tests and HUnit tests. If those packages aren’t
installed, we just get errors about not finding certain required packages, even
if we just run the example on test-framework’s home page. That took up a lot
of unneeded pain to hunt down the problem :(.
The next goal is to get Super Tic-Tac-Toe running with an AI. This is much more interesting since my friends and I are rather bad at Super Tic-Tac-Toe and it would be interesting to see if the computer can offer any insights into effective strategies
