 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... ;)
