Configuration Guide

Tune compile‑time parameters for your 2 KB RAM / 32 KB flash microcontroller.

Parameter	Purpose	Trade‑off
MaxMoves	Size of the Move scratch buffer	↑ Static RAM
MaxDepth	Search depth (ply)	↑ Flash & CPU
Heuristic scale	Range of evaluate() scores	Too wide wastes bits; too narrow causes ties

Heuristic Tips

• Keep scores symmetric around 0.
• Use int16_t for AVR.

Memory‑Saving Tricks

• Disable Serial debug prints (#define MINIMAX_VERBOSE 0).
• Store constant tables in PROGMEM.
• Represent boards with bit‑packed integers.
