! At my college programming class, we had to create a
! Tic-tac-toe game. I added

I was wondering when the obligitory WarGames reference would pop up. BTW,
how did the game run with zero players? Do you still have it around?
David,
I do still have it around! But not the source code.. :-( I can email you
a copy if you want. The AI is not perfect though - sometimes X will win..
The game would run in zero players just like in the movie - Showing an
enitre game being played before starting a new one. It also kept track of
which side won or if there was a draw.

P.S. Oh, and I used FastGraph for the graphics... ;)
