thanks, hi to people who helped me on my other thread ''tips on tictactoe ai'', well, i did understand about the concept but when implementation comes, i''m stuck! sad sad sad... my email is davidang@info.com.ph thanks for sharing people!

What do you have so far?

If you have a 3x3 array of characters, you can just take turns, and for the ai move, do something like:

1. Scan for lines the player is about to make.
2. If one was found, try to block it.
3. If one was not found, try to make a line.
4. If you can''t, randomly place an X or O.

I feel drained.

You could train a simple neural network for the task. I used a simple 9x10x9 perceptron network in my tic-tac-toe game.

Perhaps overkill, but it would be cool as hell to watch it learn.
