Tic Tac Toe AI??

[Fractile81]

qball, perhaps if you explained your "ttt player, NEVER lose, win OR tie" line because I sure don't get it.

It all depends on how "smart" you want this AI to be. The computers first turn should probably always be random, or perhaps always be center if it's not taken.

O|2|3 O|2|X O|2|X
4|X|6 4|X|6 X|X|O X went first, and it will be a tie, unless someone plays dumb
7|8|9 O|8|9 O|8|9

Likely hood is a tie. Ah, well... enough win/lose/tie debate, how have you decided to implelemt this, or do you want more ideas?

well i'm so far that the first move (PC) is random then the player and then the PC has got a small random which decides if the next move is "thought" or just random again, so the player can win too!

well i've got some if else problems and it stops sometimes with no reason but i will show you the program if it's finished!

There is only 8 ways to win, 3 rows, 3 cols, 2 diags. Determine where to go based upon those values, with some other logic tossed in. As in where to go, if first.

Thought a little more about this, and can help if your game?

I've seen some games where the computer never loses, the object is to see how far you can get before losing. I've seen this on a ping pong game at Java Botique.

I would be stuck at how good to make the AI too. My Visual Studio .Net came with a sample Tic Tac Toe I think. I'll have a look at the logic and see what they use for the AI.
