What is this?

It's Tic Tac Toe!

Why for?

I was interested in methods of board game AI, so I worked with Jim Schirle to learn a simple minimax algorithm to play Tic Tac Toe.

I then wrote a Tic Tac Toe program for BeOS R4 that used these techniques, along with a tutorial of how minimax works.

Ahh, BeOS. How I miss you!

Jim also wrote a DOS version that is likely to be of more use these days.

Choose your own adventure:

Download the BeOS executable, which will be completely useless to you unless you have a copy of R4 lying around.

Download the BeOS source, only slightly more useless.

Download the DOS executable.

Download the DOS source

Really

I'm impressed you've read this far. Now, go do something else!
