I've written a short and fairly basic Noughts and Crosses game.

I thought I'd post it here and everyone is welcome to use it, adapt it, re-write it, make it better, etc. etc.

Cheers

I can't play it, so tell me, did you manage to make the computer unbeatable yet?

I almost did it on mine.

Hey, thanks guys.

I think my code should theoretically mean that the computer cannot be beaten. I have played about 30 games with the final version (as posted) and so far its 27 draws and, er, 3 stupid losses by me (pressing the keypad keys too damn fast! LOL!)

Now my next task is going to be infinitely more ambitious. In fact, if it works, its going to be downright cool. Only slight problem is that it'll take months of my spare time. Oooh well....

Philip

Coming soon: Elite 2004 (Elite TNK port to DB Pro with a lot of new cool stuff added)

Actually, I spoke too soon.

I also posted the code to the Code snippets forum. Someone on there beat the computer with 5 - 3 - 9 - 1. That will happen every time because of the way the code fills up the next available horizontal space (its pretty basic in that respect).

Another chap kindly wrote an amendment to my code to fix that. The fix works but, without intending any offence to the chap, seems to have introduced a further bug.

I'll go back to the code at the weekend when I am not watching Wimbledon and fix the new bug.
