This wasn't much, mostly a learning exercise for me, to gain familiarity with the DBPro language.

This marks my first game for DBPro. I realize it isn't much.

The AI does have weakness, its not perfect, nor should it be. Whats the point of playing Tic Tac Toe against a computer if it has a perfect AI.

Please let me know how it works

Edit: Oops need to include the media files

Edit: Applied U77 RC and recompiled

Edit: Added right click to play new game option at end game

Edit: Game no longer lets you pass your turn by clicking on a square you have already taken

Edit: Game will now take its turn if only low value middle-side spaces are available

Edit: ~I Think~ I have closed off all winnable games where X takes center first

Edit: Ok, I can't win anymore... Computers opening move will now change

You know, my favorite thing about DBPro right now is how easy it is to pack my game up and ship it.

Keazla,

I wish I could help, but I have precisely zero expereince here. I can offer that I developed it on a 64 bit (should this matter?) version of Windows 7 home premium. There are three files packed into the exe. I compiled it on DBPro version 1.0761. I am 99.99% certain that it is vanilla DBPro without any plug-ins.

That's the issue. It could be that Kezzla has Win7 SP1 which only DBPro V1.077 RC has the fix for.

Your exe works on my computer...

Like I said, I changed the file to the new dbpro version, and...

Anyhow, here it is compressed into a installer file... Dunno if will help or not.

The game refuses to take its turn and lets the player place another cross.

Very nice first attempt! The only suggestion I have is the possibility of beefing up the AI a bit to think some more. When I first played it, I thought the AI was a bit tough, very hard to beat... which is true. By the third round I noticed the AI never acted, just reacted. By the 4th turn, I found the winning combo that allows you to win every time. Just my 2 cents! Hope it helps!

So you can! I didn't even think of trying that - a bit like erasing your opponent's move while they go to answer the front door bell. But then perhaps that's the way GregA plays the game [sorry GregA, just teasing].

@GregA

Yes, nicely done despite the bugs.

Ok.. I have to go to work, but just in case GregA would like to know what combo I use so he can look and adjust... here it is:

OK, can anyone beat it at all anymore? I can't beat it... Code also has an exception for a non-center opening gambit.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

Ok, here is the multi-media version with a er... Song and sound effects all by me. Well I did actually compose the song. The Sound Effects are from the Sony 1001 sound effect pack.

I am hosting this one here, in case someone wants the version that doesnt do sound.

The film War Games has a computer that almost starts World War 3, but they stop it by making it play tic tac toe. It says "Lets Play Thermonuclear War"

Nah, I don't want to play this - there is no SSAO or Radiosity Lighting. Back to 2000? No.

I am done with tic tac toe. I will incorporate your art into my next game though. A connect four style game.

Really what I need though(from an artist more capable than me), is a blender model of two human hands, set opposite two robot hand, all rigged and animated so that I can open and close individual digits for a game of chopstix.

Good hands is hard to find. You better take a pictures of your hands, with animation, plus for robot you can just put on black leather gloves. That would be awesome and realistic.

Because i'ts a 3d game!

I want to show trippy uncanny valley hands moving around in CGI all creepy like.

Then as the computer kicks your ass at chopstix every single game it does it with robotic hands and a Futurama inspired song called "Destroy all humans" playing in the background.
