yeah, but now with your new visual changes, you've introduced more bugs, because elsewhere in your code you're still comparing the values to the hardcoded string "+" instead of "."
Just because someone asks for changes, doesn't mean you should try to implement them right away. Take your time and re/test everything.
And just like in go, try to look for more than one solution. The first solution that comes to mind, may not be the best. It may in fact paint you into a corner that'll be near impossible to get out of later.

no, i haven't. "." only applies to the print function as it should, nothing else has changed. making "." and "+" as my empty would make my code nearly 1/3 more complex.

so brief update, i tried writing two go bots, one using a sort of influence idea the other using a sort of neural net learning bot. both failed horribly. if anyone's interested in my code, let me know and i'll post it here. but yeah both are quite horrible, so not much point i figure.
