Tic-Tac-Toe

Simple example of Tic-Tac-Toe.

30, 12, 6-game of Tic-Tac-Toe.

Standard game with numbered moves

This is the standard game of Tic-Tac-Toe with you playing against the computer but where all the moves on both sides are entirely random. Plus more stuff!

The computer chooses who goes first after which the two of you alternate who starts. The starting player always has “X”. All the moves are done randomly and when there is a winner, or the game ends in a draw, the computer records the result and keeps track of who wins the most games.

Tic-Tac-Toe is a type of m, n, k game where m is the number of columns, n is the number of rows, and k is how many in a row you need to win. So standard Tic-Tac-Toe is a 3, 3, 3-game. The second example above is a 30, 12, 6-game meaning there are 30 columns, 12 rows, and you need 6 in a row to win.

The computer only shows you the final result of each game and not the drama that leads up to the ending. To help with this the option “print_numbers” when set to “yes” will show the move number for each piece in the game. You can see this with the third example above.
