Part3:

Modify the game so that a human player plays the game with a computer that makes smart moves.

What does it mean for a computer to make a smart move?

The computer looks at the game position, then for each possible move, the computer analyzes all possible outcomes before it chooses the best move.

So you have to write an analysis method that would enable the computer do this.

Those of you, who can do this give it a try.
