We would need to incorporate the above and develop some pseudo-code incrementally. This will be a very time consuming stage where programming skills are essential. Also, efficiency issues should be addressed here, otherwise they will have to wait to a much later stage where the effort spent will be greater.
Design of the algorithms for all the different approaches takes place at this stage. This is a good point to refer to the information sources and reveal some of the different conventional methodologies that are used to solve the problem of computing a good play. A simple and useful starting point would be designing one algorithm that will make an arbitrary placement of a stone (preferably a random one).
