Tic Tac Toe

kmax12 · 07/05/2009, 08:41 PM

Here is my tic tac toe program
New Features in 1.6:
Rewritten from scratch
Removed Two Player
Added Single Player
Fixed "cheating"
Added score keeper
Faster reset time
todo: (anyone wanna give me advice?)
new graphics
reset score
incorporate mojo more
notes:
the way I named the app in 1.6 makes webos install it as a separate app. you can choose whether or not to uninstall 1.0

1.0:
Two player tic tac toe

This is my first program ever! I started to teach myself to program once I got my Pre, and god is it easy. If it wasn't I wouldnt be releasing this with only 5 hours or so of work.

The game isn't perfect. But it does the basics. Please report problems and I will try to get them fix. Also, I am open to suggestions on the next game to develop. Make it simple.

If any assistance is need installing I can help, but in 1.04 you need to use the sdk.

until next time,

Whhops, I guess I need to package it specially for the email trick to work. I guess this is sdk instal only.

kmax are u able to delete this app?? or is it one that cannot be deleted??

kmax12 · 07/05/2009, 09:14 PM

It will delete as much as other apps do. However I think all apps, even app cat ones, will leave some files on the phone. This app is tiny (11.2kb) so you don't have to worry.

knightflores · 07/05/2009, 09:15 PM

cool, so is this app one player or 2 player??

kenfly · 07/05/2009, 09:17 PM

where did you learn to program so fast? i would love to know

here's the one I used to get me started...
Java script tutorial for the total non-programmer
also it helped that I already new HTML.

I think I can have it done tomorrow night or the day after. I am in summer school biology so I gotta do the work I have been putting off all weekend.

Also, I am looking for some nice graphics for my next version, if anyone wants to contribute.

pdasikis · 07/05/2009, 09:25 PM

could i get that tutorial as well please?

kmax12 · 07/05/2009, 09:27 PM

another important thing is that I use notepad++ to write my code in.

if anyone wants any specific advice pm me and I can give you my facebook or aim screenname so we could instant message.

bulls96 · 07/05/2009, 09:28 PM

good job! keep 'em comin folks!

kmax12 · 07/05/2009, 10:32 PM

So, I am stumped. I am trying to write the AI for the next version of tic tac toe and I cant figure out how the AI should choose its move. More specifically, how can the AI identify the human player has two out of three in a row and make its next move to block it. If anyone can help me out with Ideas id be happy to send them the code.

I am kind of a noob when it comes to programing so I am not the best problem solver yet.

thanks in advance.

kmax12 · 07/05/2009, 11:07 PM

I figured I woudn't get any feedback so I went along and did it brute force. The AI checks every way to win the game, every turn.

Before I release I am gonna look at the switch function to try and accomplish my goal (my brother just told me about this as I type this reply)

kmax12 · 07/06/2009, 01:19 AM

just an update on the next release...

After 265 lines of code, I have a working AI! Now, maybe I'll make the AI a little smarter/make mistakes so the game is more enjoyable. Then I will add in recognition for when the game is finished.

Oh and I can't forget to add back in two player mode. Is there even interest in two player mode??? Does anyone know how I could do multiplayer(ie two pres playing or a pre and webpage)??

Well, good night. ugh biology for 6 hours tomorrow

I love my pre

Why don't you make a game where you break iphones so we can start another flame war? Lol
