On a thread I posted on recently I mentioned a twist to the AI based single player TTT that was
written by Zeda E. in 2011. The post is archived and I cant post the link because I'm new
There would be two game files, TTTSUPER and TTTBASIC. Each are the different game modes
for this game of Tic-Tac-To
TTTBASIC would be your standard version of Tic-Tac. You have the X, O, and the AI for single
player games. Same principles; 3x3 game grid, three in a Row/Column/Diagonal wins the game.
However, I managed to beat the AI in every situation using the trick of placing an X in as many
corners as I could, beating the AI every time. 2 player would also be available, either with the
one calculator available, or a link cable to battle on separate screens.
TTTSUPER is where s*** gets real. Using button ideas from a PlayStation controller, I got this idea
while I was playing a TTT tournament in my school as a celebration of it being the final day of the
year. There were lots of players and I was thinking, "What if you could play a four player game
of Tic-Tac? What would it be like?"
In TTTSUPER there would be a 5x5 game grid instead of the 3x3, making it very difficult but
slimy possible to win (I've figured it out after a few days of practice). All games would go to best
of 3, making it a little better to win.
There would be four game modes;
- Singleplayer
- Co-Op (Two players work together)
- Versus (You and an opponent go against each other, as well as the AI)
- Quadplayer (Four players battle simultaneously either through 1 or 2 devices)
In Singleplayer, you would have to play against three sets of AI, which are trying to stop you and
each other. First to get a row of 3, 4, or 5 wins. Games go best to 3, refreshing the grid after every
round.
In Co-Op, you and a buddy would use your letters together to battle against the two AI's, so say X's and
O's count together when placed in rows and columns. Link cables can be acceptable so the two players
can battle with their separate screens. First to get a row of 3, 4, or 5 wins. Games go best of 3,
refreshing the grid after every round.
In Versus, you and an opponent would use your letters to battle each other while at the same time
fending off the other two active AI's. Link cables can be used so the two players can battle
with their separate screens. First to get a row of 3, 4, or 5 wins. Games go to best of 3, refreshing
the grid after every round.
In Quadplayer, you and three others can battle either on one calculator with rotating turns, or 2 linked
calculators with alternating turns. Each player would be assigned a letter, and would have to battle
with the three other players to win the game. First to get a row of 3, 4, or 5 wins. Games go to
best of 3, refreshing the grid after every round.
Please remember, I was born yesterday, and even my friends themselves thought this was a bad idea
to do. I still think this would be awesome to play, and I would love to hear ideas, or get help to
program this game. I would still program the game myself, but my ears are open and I will check the
thread again. Thanks for reading!
EDIT: I remembered that its impossible to get a row of five when only a row of four is one of the win requirements. I also censored a swear word to save the virgin eyes of the younger children who visit these forums.
