Minimax helps to achieve maximum score in a game by checking all possible moves
depth is current depth in game tree.

    This function implements the minimax algorithm, which helps achieve the optimal
    score for a player in a two-player game by checking all possible moves.
    If the player is the maximizer, then the score is maximized.
    If the player is the minimizer, then the score is minimized.

    Parameters:
    - depth: Current depth in the game tree.
    - node_index: Index of the current node in the scores list.
    - is_max: A boolean indicating whether the current move
              is for the maximizer (True) or minimizer (False).
    - scores: A list containing the scores of the leaves of the game tree.
    - height: The maximum height of the game tree.

    Returns:
    - An integer representing the optimal score for the current player.
