As the title says, I've been running into issues with my code not running properly. It reaches maximum recursion depth, and after some debugging with print statements, it seems like it runs through the pawns possible moves, but then gets stuck on Rooks moves, repeating this set of values (included 1 repeat):
pos: 0 0
count 1
<chessPieces.Rook object at 0x115cc5610>
[]
pos: 7 0
[]
pos: 7 1
[]
pos: 3 4
[(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (1, 7), (2, 0), (3, 0), (4, 0), (5, 0), (6, 0)]
pos: 1 0
count 1
<chessPieces.Rook object at 0x115cc5610>
[]
pos: 7 0
[]
pos: 7 1
[]
pos: 3 4
[(1, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0), (4, 0), (5, 0), (6, 0)]
pos: 0 0
count 1
<chessPieces.Rook object at 0x115cc5610>
[]
pos: 7 0
[]
pos: 7 1
[]
pos: 3 4
[(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (1, 7), (2, 0), (3, 0), (4, 0), (5, 0), (6, 0)]
The current legal moves for each piece is the list of tuples that is printed (which for some reason is sometimes an empty list even though it seems to make a move). Here is my code below:
def makeMinimaxMove(app,isMax,depth):
score, pieceMoved, move = minimax(app,isMax,depth,None,None,0)
newLoc = findPiece(app,move[0],move[1])
app.pieceSelected = pieceMoved
moveToSelection(app,newLoc,move[0],move[1])
def minimax(app,isMax,depth,pieceMoved,move,count): #board just pieces so can be found w app
#print(depth)
curBoard = copy.copy(app.pieces)
score = evaluate(app)
if score >= 900: #if maximizer captured opponents King
return score, pieceMoved, move #not sure how to pass move and piece thru
elif score <= -900: #if minimizer captured opponents King
return score, pieceMoved, move
elif depth <= 0:
print('depth exceeded')
return score, pieceMoved, move
if isMax:
team = 'white'
best = [-10000,None,None]
for piece in app.pieces:
if piece.team == team:
findPossibleMoves(app,piece)
for (row,col) in app.currentLegalMoves:
count += 1
print('count',count)
curBoard = copy.deepcopy(app.pieces)
move = (row,col)
newLoc = findPiece(app,row,col)
app.pieceSelected = piece
moveToSelection(app,newLoc,row,col)
score, pieceMoved, move = minimax(app,not isMax,depth-1,piece,move,count)
if score >= best[0]:
best = [score,pieceMoved,move] #update all characteristics of best
app.pieces = curBoard #undo move
else:
team = 'black'
best = [10000,None,None]
for piece in app.pieces:
if piece.team == team:
findPossibleMoves(app,piece)
print(app.currentLegalMoves)
print('pos:',piece.row,piece.col)
for (row,col) in app.currentLegalMoves:
curBoard = copy.deepcopy(app.pieces)
count += 1
print('count',count)
move = (row,col)
newLoc = findPiece(app,row,col)
print(piece)
app.pieceSelected = piece
moveToSelection(app,newLoc,row,col)
score, pieceMoved, move = minimax(app,not isMax,depth-1,piece,move)
print('made it')
if score >= best[0]:
best = [score,pieceMoved,move] #update all characteristics of best
app.pieces = curBoard #undo move
#reset all other app instances too
