    <p>I am currently working on a project for one of my classes where I have to implement an AI opponent to play tic-tac-toe using minmax and Alpha-Beta minmax algorithms to determine the moves. </p> <p>The problem I am having however is attempting to generate a list of possible moves for a board.</p> <p>My problem code is as follows</p> <pre><code>def genMoves(genBoard, turnNumber): moveList = [] print "inMovesList" #Figure out if X or O go now if turnNumber % 2 == 0: moveChar = "O" else: moveChar = "X" i = 0; while i &lt; 9: tempBoard = genBoard if tempBoard[i] == "*": #set tempBoard[i] to X or O tempBoard[i] = moveChar #append move, new board moveList.append((i, tempBoard)) i+=1 print "MovesList: " print moveList return moveList </code></pre> <p>My board is represented as a list of 9 strings initialized to <code>["*", "*", "*", "*", "*", "*", "*", "*", "*"]</code>.</p> <p>My goal is to have move list return a list of tuples with the first element of the tuple being i (Where the X or O was inserted) and the second element being the resulting board.</p> <p>The problem I have is that I will recieve a list with the correct number of possible moves (Eg: If I manually play the first 4 moves for both sides it will only give me 5 possible moves) however it will place the same move in each location that contains a *. (So it ends up generating something like X,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O for possible second moves)</p> <p>This is not the first time I have had to use minmax but it is the first time I've had to do it in python.</p> <p>Any suggestions for how to get around this issue would be helpful!</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
