Tic Tac Toe Artificial Intelligence

[Jumendez]

At this point I'm skrewed.
When I started this project, I thought that the experiment was to just make the 2 player game, so when I saw all the codes were given I thought this was going to be easy.
Then two days ago, after I had that part of the project done for a week I noticed the Experimental Procedures section, and my life has been a mess since.
Something that hasn't helped was that I was so naive to not even do the recommended things before this, and wasn't even fluent in JavaScript. So I've been running through trial and error, and all I've gotton is error.
I'm unable to make the function makeComputerMove() make a button change its value to O, so could someone please help me.

To assist experts who might address your questions, I'm posting a link here to the Science Buddies project idea:

I'm sure experts will need to know what you've done so far (what your script looks like) for makeComputerMove();

If you can post the code you have written here, it will help with troubleshooting.

If you have a working two player game that uses "squareclicked(square)" to change a square's value, your makeComputerMove simply has to figure out the correct square and call squareclicked( <somebuttonobject> ) that looks like the project examples. I suspect that the button object needed <somebuttonobject> will be obtained something like "document.getElementById('2_0')" which you might look more like "document.getElementById(x + '_' + y)". If it is the computer's turn, then xTurn will be true if the computer is playing "X" or false if it is playing "O". If the computer wants to take square x,y it needs to call squareclicked(document.getElementById(x + '_' + y)). BEWARE: I'm not a javaScript expert so I might not have precisely the correct syntax; however, looking at what the project already gave you, it looks like what I gave you is close. The whole point of attempting to program something is figuring out how to try to accomplish something then trying to figure out how to tell the computer to do it and then figuring out how to tell if the computer is doing what you wanted it to do in all cases.
