Is anyone able to beat the bot at <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/in-tic-tac-toe-ception-perfect/1681243068" rel="nofollow">https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/in-tic-tac-toe-ception-perfec...</a> ? Seems like its strategy is unbeatable and player1 always wins.
Note that this was created long before the recently posted article. So, its rules variations are totally correct, because it wasn't <i>trying</i> to match the article's definition of the game ;)<p>It originally used what it calls Rule 5a, as the article proposed, but that allows the first player to always win (see Perfect), so it now uses Rule 5b by default, but it can be toggled easily.<p>There are also a ton of other config options if you scroll down past the initial comments; most of the variants, like the Perfect one, just have different defaults for linking convenience.
I seen this game on: <a href="http://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2013/06/16/ultimate-tic-tac-toe/" rel="nofollow">http://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2013/06/16/ultimate-tic-tac-t...</a>
There's one unfair thing in this though. If the board has already been won, sending them to the same board allows them to place a mark anywhere on the megaboard even if there are vacant spots available on the said board.
It doesnt follow the correct rules? or have i misunderstood them? when you send the player to a square already complete (with spaces left) they should have to go in that square, not get a free go.
Sorry but rules are wrong!<p>when you send the player to a square already complete (with spaces left) they should have to go in that square, not get a free go.<p>This is correct.
The interplay of micro and macro reminds me of Go. I also like how offense and defense are so connected in a Yin Yang fashion.<p>Perhaps it should be called "TictIctaC TactActaC ToetOetoE". Another possibility: "Tic Frac Toe", giving a nod to the fractal quality. This game is great!
And there is a cool "app for that"....<p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MoongLabs.UltimateTicTacToeHD" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MoongLabs....</a>
I won on my second try ... you should ignore winning games in favor of forcing the other player to drop you into the squares you want. None-the-less, it's a fun variation!<p>Edit: 1st=Lost, 2nd=Won, 3rd=Lost, 4th=Tie.
I keep seeing "Oh noes! SecurityError: DOM Exception 18" using Chrome on win7...<p>Edit: It has something to do with either reading cookies, or loading a video from a different server?
