Links for simple game algorithms [closed]

Question

I was reading that question and I remember of the Wikipedia list of algorithms. I know that Wikipedia have a list of Open Source games too, but what I want is a links for simple game algorithms, even if written in pseudocode.

As "simple" games, I mean games like Sudoku, Bejeweled, Solitaire, Minesweeper, Labyrinth, Snakes, Gorilla, Chess, Tetris, etc.

Bonus for C# source code :)

Answer 1

Most game-playing algorithms are simply search algorithms. In fact, you could say that AI is search.

For Sudoku, dancing links is a good algorithm. Alternatively, it's solved very concisely in Prolog.

For chess, start with Minimax, then try Minimax with alpha-beta pruning.

Minesweeper is NP-complete. There aren't any known reliable and fast algorithms.
