- oliveratkinson 13y agoIt 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.
- mooism2 13y ago5 (variation B - current default). If a player is sent to a mini-square that has already been won, or in which all the cells are already filled, then the player may next place his mark in any unfilled cell in any other mini-board.
- jasonlotito 13y agoWith those rules first player can always win.
- gjsriv 13y agoyou get that rule here - https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284 https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284
- Timoty 13y agoSorry but rules are wrong! 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. This is correct.
- Timoty 13y agoWell correct rules can be turned on. https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284 https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284
- jasonlotito 13y agoThose rules means the first player always wins. It's not a game, but a trick.
- tled 13y agoWhat if we combine this game with Battleship
- pepijndevos 13y agoExplain?
- technolem 13y agoMaybe you only get to see the board they made their move in. You don't get to see the move unless you select that board to move in yourself. Or maybe you don't even get that much information. You only know what moves have been made in the board you select and no further info. Do they control that side board yet? Are they trying to rig the center boards? Taking this further, you are stuck with the board you select. Even if it has already been won. You get to update the world board, but otherwise lose your turn.
- anonymous 13y agoIs anyone able to beat the bot at https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/in-tic-tac-toe-ception-perfect/1681243068 https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/in-tic-tac-toe-ception-perfec... ? Seems like its strategy is unbeatable and player1 always wins.
- ashishb4u 13y agoIts quite unfair how the player 1 always get to start.
- gjsriv 13y agotry this - https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284 https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284 You start here
- mcintyre1994 13y agoTic tac toe is a solved game - if you start and play optimally you always win. (you take 3 corners in 3 moves). If they start every board then they're unbeatable.

- anonymous 13y agoNormal tictactoe always ends in a draw if both players play optimally. The one I linked though seems to always end with X winning.
- sp332 13y agoOh, I like it! I don't see a way to beat it :)
- dave809 13y agothis strategy doesn't work if you block a won game instead of a full game which is what OP's game does
- smoyer 13y agoI 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! Edit: 1st=Lost, 2nd=Won, 3rd=Lost, 4th=Tie.

- paullik 13y agoI seen this game on: http://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2013/06/16/ultimate-tic-tac-toe/ http://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2013/06/16/ultimate-tic-tac-t...
- sigkill 13y agoThere'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.
- gjsriv 13y agoTry this- https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284 https://www.khanacademy.org/cs/tic-tac-toe2/1747678284 You get the first turn :)
- sigkill 13y agoOh yeah, this is better. Fyi note that the AI is totally evil. Its first priority is to send you to a square that's already been won (does not matter who won) effectively rendering your move useless while you give it map mobility. It prioritizes that over making a move at winning a table even! Also, if you think that the AI will play to win the specific board and you can use that knowledge to your advantage... you're wrong, you're so wrong. The only way to make the AI do what you want is to pigeonhole it into a board where there's only one square left.
- gjsriv 13y agoAbout the AI sending us to already won square - won't we do the same? So this is a smart AI :P
- sigkill 13y agoOh totally. I didn't look at the code though but I'm impressed if that isn't a hardcoded behaviour.
- matchu 13y agoIt looks like it's using the Monte-Carlo bot, "which plays out as many random games as it can within 5 seconds and plays which ever next position had the greatest percentage of wins". So, yup, not hardcoded :)
- gjsriv 13y agoIt becomes easy after a couple of gameplays
- fmax30 13y agoNo draw checks , Infact it locks up my browser when the game has been drawn.
- stephengillie 13y agoI keep seeing "Oh noes! SecurityError: DOM Exception 18" using Chrome on win7... Edit: It has something to do with either reading cookies, or loading a video from a different server?
- gjsriv 13y agoI tried just now! it works perfect for me. Google the problem. Some reasons/solutions from Stack might help
- RockofStrength 13y agoThe interplay of micro and macro reminds me of Go. I also like how offense and defense are so connected in a Yin Yang fashion. Perhaps it should be called "TictIctaC TactActaC ToetOetoE". Another possibility: "Tic Frac Toe", giving a nod to the fractal quality. This game is great!
- matchu 13y agoNote that this was created long before the recently posted article. So, its rules variations are totally correct, because it wasn't trying to match the article's definition of the game ;) 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. 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.
- tarun_anand 13y agoAnd there is a cool "app for that".... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MoongLabs.UltimateTicTacToeHD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MoongLabs....
