Minimax Algorithm with Alpha-Beta Pruning Quiz

What is the primary focus of the tutorial presented by Tracy from Science Buddies?

• Building a Connect 4 game from scratch

• Understanding the Minimax algorithm with Alpha-Beta pruning

• Learning Python programming basics

• Exploring advanced data structures

Which platform is used in the tutorial to write, run, and share code?

• Atom

• Google Colab

• Visual Studio Code

• Jupyter Notebook

Why are constants used in the code instead of magic numbers?

• To make the code run faster

• To reduce memory usage

• To provide clear context and ease of modification

• To increase the complexity of the code

What is the purpose of the evaluation function in the Connect 4 game?

• To assign values to board positions based on their strategic importance

• To calculate the total number of moves

• To reset the game board

• To determine the winner of the game

In the Minimax algorithm, what value is assigned to a game state where the AI player wins?

• Zero

• Negative Infinity

• Positive Infinity

• A random number

What does the Alpha-Beta pruning technique help achieve in the Minimax algorithm?

• It guarantees a win for the AI

• It reduces the number of nodes evaluated

• It simplifies the game rules

• It increases the number of possible moves

What happens if a node's score is worse than the current Alpha-Beta range during the Minimax evaluation?

• The node is evaluated further

• The node is pruned and not evaluated further

• The node is assigned a random value

• The node is marked as a winning move

What should you do after defining your evaluation function to create the AI player?

• Restart the entire project

• Run the provided code cell

• Manually input all possible moves

• Delete all previous cells

How do you choose your move when playing the game against the AI?

• By clicking on the board

• By entering the row number

• By entering the column number

• By selecting a random number

Where can you find additional resources and projects related to Science and Engineering?

• In the Google Colab notebook

• In the video description

• In the tutorial comments

• On the Science Buddies website
