AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Smart Computer Player (Basic AI)

The video tutorial explains how to enhance a computer player's intelligence in a game by moving beyond random moves. It introduces a function to check possible winning moves and block them, using array indexing to identify positions on the game board. The tutorial covers vertical, horizontal, and diagonal checks, and implements a get position function to determine strategic moves. The lesson concludes with testing the function, showing improved gameplay where the computer can block potential wins.

What is the initial approach for the computer player in the game?

• To predict the opponent's strategy
