I am in the proccess of making a board game.  
it’s kinda like checkers but you can move in all directions.  
what I want is an opinion in what way should I make the A.I for the computer player, and how.  
I never made A.I and this is my first game.  
I have 42 squares 5 by 7.  
what is the best way I should make the computer move?  
I heard about “influence maps” but I don’t know how can I do them.  
maybe some example or a direction.  
thanks.
