I’m quite new to programming and I am trying to add a random bot move to a small game I’ve made. My idea was to make a list of tuples of all of the legal moves and then pick a random tuple from that list to then deconstruct and change a value in a 2D-array.
I’ve looked all over the internet and found a way to make a list of tuples (I think), but couldn’t manage to pick a random element from that list.
This is what I tried:
List<Tuple<int, int>> legalMoves; // To make the list of tuples
// Later on in a double for-loop that iterates through all the rows and columns of the 2D-array I check if that certain row and column combination is a legal move and then add it to the list like so:
legalMoves.Add(Tuple.Create(row, col));
//Then in a different method I try to pick a random element from that list (this doesn't work)
Random random = new Random();
int randomIndex = random.Next(legalMoves.Count);
(int, int) randomMove = legalMoves[randomIndex];
It gives the following error on the last line:
Error CS0029 Cannot implicitly convert type ‘System.Tuple<int, int>’ to ‘(int, int)’
Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks in advance!
>Solution :
The syntax (int, int) defines a ValueTuple<int,int> not a Tuple<int,int>. Change the list definition to :
List<ValueTuple<int, int>> legalMoves;
and Tuple.Create to ValueTuple.Create
