4 This' an amazing tic tac toe game implementation which allows three
5 players and also support matches against the computer.
7 1. Compiling and running
8 ------------------------
10 To compile it just run 'make' and a binary file called 'ttt3p' will
13 You can execute it to run the game:
17 If you wish to play against the computer, just type the number
18 of opponents the computer should handle. For example:
22 Means that all the three players will be handled by the computer.
23 You can ask for the computer to play slowly:
27 So that you can see the computer playing (otherwise it'll play
33 There are three players in the game: X, Y and Z. The turns _always_
34 follows that order, i.e., X always plays first followed by Y and
37 Computer opponents starts at Z. This means that if you choose one
38 computer opponent it will be Z. If you choose two, they'll be Z and Y.
40 Another different rule in this version is that a tie never happens.
41 If the board becomes full (a tie condition) the game continues, and you
42 can play at any position.
47 This game was a programming homework to demonstrate the use of
48 heuristics, hence doesn't expect the computer to be a complete idiot.
50 Actually, he's a bit smart. Try to play against two computer players
