Tic Tac Toe

This is a single-player interactive console Tic Tac Toe game which I wrote in Java for my Hacker School application. While fairly unsophisticated, it uses several strategies in combination to avoid loss and take a win when presented the opportunity. Requires Java 7.

Usage

user$ cd tictactoe
tictactoe$ ant compile
tictactoe$ java -cp lib/*:bin tictactoe.TicTacToe

Play a move by entering ROW COL.

Sample Game Play

tictactoe [master *%] $ java -cp lib/*:bin tictactoe.TicTacToe

Notes on SimpleTicTacToe

During my Hacker School pairing interview, I created a simple tic-tac-toe game from scratch with Mary Rose Cook. I refined the code a bit to fix bugs after the interview, but this is pretty much the code we came up with during that half hour. It can be executed with java -cp lib/*:bin tictactoe.SimpleTicTacToe.
