Question 1: Reversi Tiny [100 points]
In this question you will implement game tree search for the game “Reversi Tiny” on a 4×4 board.
Reversi Tiny is a strategy board game for two players, played on a 4×4 board. There are 16 disks, which
are dark on one side (player 1’s color) and light on the other (player 2’s color). At each turn, any disks of
the opponent’s color that are in one or more straight lines (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) and bounded
by the disk just placed and another disk of the current player’s color are turned over to the current player’s
color. The object of the game is to try to end up with the most disks of your color at the end of the game.
Rules:
A game begins with four disks placed in a square in the middle of the grid, two pieces with the light side
up, the other two pieces with the dark side up, with same-colored disks on a diagonal with each other.
—————–
| | | | |
—————–
| | 2 | 1 | |
—————–
| | 1 | 2 | |
—————–
| | | | |
—————–
Note: dark and light is indicated by 1 and 2, respectively.
The dark player moves first and must place a piece with the dark side up on the board, in a position that
there exists at least one straight occupied line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) between the new piece and
another dark piece, with one or more contiguous light pieces between them. Dark has the following options
indicated by X:
—————–
| | X | | |
—————–
| X | 2 | 1 | |
—————–
| | 1 | 2 | X |
—————–
| | | X | |
—————–
If dark decides to put a piece in the leftmost location, the board appears as following:
—————–
| | | | |
—————–
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |
—————–
| | 1 | 2 | |
—————–

Likewise, light plays next and lay down a light piece, causing a dark piece to flip. Below is possible
options for light:
—————–
| X | | X | |
—————–
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |
—————–
| X | 1 | 2 | |
—————–
| | | | |
—————–
If light chooses top-right option and reverses one dark piece, the board appears as following:
—————–
| | | 2 | |
—————–
| 1 | 1 | 2 | |
—————–
| | 1 | 2 | |
—————–
| | | | |
—————–
Players take alternate turns. If one player can not make any valid move, play passes back to the other
player (hint: think how to represent the successor in this case). Also, one move may form more than one lines.
For example, sometimes a horizontal line and a diagonal line can be formed simultaneously. All opponent’s
pieces on those lines must be flipped. The game ends when neither player can move. This occurs when the
grid has filled up or when neither player can legally place a piece in any of the remaining squares. Then the
player with the most disks on the board wins. The game is a tie if both players have the same number of
disks. You may want to play the game here https://www.mathsisfun.com/games/reversi-tiny.html to
get familiar with the rules. For more background on Reversi see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversi.
Note we will be using the simplified rules above, not the riles in Wikipedia.
Write a program Reversi.java with the following command line format:
$java Reversi FLAG player board
where “FLAG” is an integer that specifies the output of the program (see below). “player” denotes who
plays at this board, and takes value in 1 or 2. “board” is a string of length 16 that specifies the board in the
natural reading order (left to right, top to bottom). Each position in the string takes one of three values:
0=empty, 1=dark, 2=light. Note: for this game, a state is actually the (player, board) pair. For example,
with the initial state and FLAG=100, the command line would be
$java Reversi 100 1 0000021001200000
CS 540 Fall 2017
(Part a, 20 points) When FLAG=100, print out all the successor boards of the given state. The successors should be
printed in the natural reading order of the new piece. That is, a successor with the new piece at the
upper-left corner should be printed before a successor whose new piece is at the lower-right corner.
Each successor board should be printed as a 16-character string on a single line. If the player has no
move for this board but it is not a terminal node, you should simply print the board itself. If the board
is a terminal node, you should simply produce no output at all. For example,
$java Reversi 100 1 2222222222222221
$java Reversi 100 1 0000021001200000
0100011001200000
0000111001200000
0000021001110000
0000021001100010
(Part b, 20 points) When FLAG=200, verify if the board is a terminal node. Recall this is true only when neither players
can move. If the board is a non-terminal node, print “non-terminal” (without the quotation marks).
If the board is a terminal node, print the game theoretic value for it: 1 if dark wins, -1 if light wins, 0
if it is a tie.
$java Reversi 200 1 0000021001200000
non-terminal
$java Reversi 200 1 2222222222222221
-1
(Part c, 20 points) Implement the Minimax algorithm on slide 14. When FLAG=300, on line one print the game theoretic
value for the given (player, board) pair; on line two print the number of states explored by your
algorithm. This should be the sum of the number of Max-Value() and Min-Value() calls, and one way
to implement it is to have a global counter variable: and you increment the counter as the first line in
both Max-Value() and Min-Value(). Note the board now may or may not be a non-terminal node.

(Part d, 20 points) Note the algorithm does not track the actual move for the player. We ask you to implement it as
follows. First, make sure your successors are generated in the natural reading order as in Part a. Then,
CS 540 Fall 2017
when you perform either the max() or min() operations, record the first successor that achieve that
optimal value and treat it as the move. That is, even if there are later successors which achieve the
same optimal value, those later successors are not chosen as the move. When FLAG=400, print the
move (the chosen successor board) for the given (player, board) pair. If the player has no move for the
board but the board is a non-terminal, recall the successor board should be the same board, and you
should print it. If the board is a terminal node, you should simply produce no output at all.
$java Reversi 400 1 2222222222222221
$java Reversi 400 2 2222222222222221
$java Reversi 400 1 0000021001200000

(Part e, 10 points) Implement the alpha-beta pruning algorithm on slide 20, but only activate alpha-beta pruning when
FLAG ≥ 500. When FLAG=500, do the same thing as FLAG=300. You should get the same game
theoretic value, but the number of states explored may be smaller.

(Part f, 10 points) When FLAG=600, do the same thing as FLAG=400 but with alpha-beta pruning. Do you get the
same moves?

(Part g, no points) Congratulations! You can now run command-line interface for Reversi Tiny, which simply provides a
user interface to allow you to play the game interactively with your code. Note the program requires
that you don’t change the provided type signatures and methods in Reversi.java.
To run, move provided CLIReversi.java into the same directory where your Reversi.java is located.
Then, compile & run CLIReversi.java, choose which player (1 or 2) you play as, and who plays first.
When it is your human’s turn, enter a single number 1–16 for the board position to put your new piece.
Finally, we provide a few additional examples to help you develop your code.
