Questions tagged [tic-tac-toe]

Tic Tac Toe is a popular exercise for beginning coders, as the finite resources and game mechanics can be easily grasped and represented in many ways. As it is a short game, it is possible to create an algorithm that never loses.

The X player usually goes first. The player who succeeds in placing three respective marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game. The following example game is won by the first player, X.

A small (3x3, 4x4) tic-tac-toe can be easily solved by considering all the cases. But for example, you have a 30x30 tic-tac-toe. What algorithm would you use to decide the next best move in that case? Minimax + alpha-beta pruning is one way that I…
