Super Tic-Tac-Toe
- Version 1.0 BETA
Super Tic-Tac-Toe
Page Last Updated: February 23rd, 2008

Why I actually took the time to make this game is anyone's guess but one day while bored to tears during some random and pointless class I created and started playing a tweaked version of Tic-Tac-Toe against myself. I tried to come up with a way to add actual strategy to the game and to limit the amount of stalemates. But alas after playing the game for a short while I picked up a pattern that led to every match being a stalemate once again. Oh well. I still don't know why I actually made this game for the computer though.

Version 1.0 BETA: Download
Version 1.0 BETA by Steven C. Brown. Compiled on February 4th, 2005.

Game Overview:
It's just your ordinary Tic-Tac-Toe with just a few minor tweaks. You start by creating player profiles to keep track of stats. You can pick an avatar for each profile to use on the Tic-Tac-Toe board. I don't remember but while I called this a BETA version it is fairly bug free. I don't know of any major problems with the game. One minor issue is that while playing the game does little to inform you which starting squares you have already used up.

Like most of my programs, this requires Microsoft's .NET Framework 1.1 (or higher I suppose) in order to run.

Rules:
- A player must get three squares in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) to win a round. If no one gets three in a row then the round is a tie.
- Whichever player wins the most rounds at the end of the match wins the match. If no player has more wins that the other the match is a tie. Player statistics are calculated and saved after each match.
- At the start of each odd round the top player goes first. At the start of each even round the bottom player goes first.
- A player may only START each round in the same square ONCE per match. For example, if Player 1 starts round 1 in the upper left corner, they may not start any other round in that corner. They may however use that square or any square after their first move.
