What Is Tic Tac Toe?
- a3n 12y agoI can't make any sense out of the xkcd figures. How do you mentally navigate them, where do they take you, and what do you know at the end?
- Pewqazz 12y agoIt's a visual representation of the most optimal tic-tac-toe strategy based on a given game state. Assume you're playing as X, who goes first. The largest X in the whole figure is in the top-left, indicating that that's X's optimal move. Now, let's say O decided to play in the top-middle square. You would "zoom in" on that ninth of the board; the black X and O represent the fact that this is the current state of the game. There is now a large red X in the middle, so that's where you should play your next move. Repeat until the game is over.
