The Matchbox Educable Noughts and Crosses Engine (sometimes called the Machine Educable Noughts and Crosses Engine or MENACE) was a mechanical computer made from 304 matchboxes designed and built by artificial intelligence researcher Donald Michie in 1961. It was designed to play human opponents in games of noughts and crosses (tic-tac-toe) by ...
Notakto is a tic-tac-toe variant, also known as neutral or impartial tic-tac-toe. [ 1][ 2] The game is a combination of the games tic-tac-toe and Nim, [ 1][ 3] played across one or several boards with both of the players playing the same piece (an "X" or cross). The game ends when all the boards contain a three-in-a-row of Xs, [ 4][ 5][ 6] at ...
Search algorithm. In computer science, Monte Carlo tree search ( MCTS) is a heuristic search algorithm for some kinds of decision processes, most notably those employed in software that plays board games. In that context MCTS is used to solve the game tree . MCTS was combined with neural networks in 2016 [ 1] and has been used in multiple board ...
Quantum tic-tac-toe. An animation of the game being played. Quantum tic-tac-toe is a " quantum generalization" of tic-tac-toe in which the players' moves are "superpositions" of plays in the classical game. The game was invented by Allan Goff of Novatia Labs, who describes it as "a way of introducing quantum physics without mathematics", and ...
Treblecross. Treblecross is a degenerate tic-tac toe variant. [1] The game is an octal game, [2] [3] played on a one-dimensional board and both players play using the same piece (an X or a black chip [4] ). [5] [1] [3] Each player on their turn plays a piece in an unoccupied space. The game is won if a player on their turn makes a line of three ...
3D tic-tac-toe, also known by the trade name Qubic, is an abstract strategy board game, generally for two players. It is similar in concept to traditional tic-tac-toe but is played in a cubical array of cells, usually 4×4×4. Players take turns placing their markers in blank cells in the array. The first player to achieve four of their own ...
Tic-tac-toe (American English), noughts and crosses (Commonwealth English), or Xs and Os (Canadian or Irish English) is a paper-and-pencil game for two players who take turns marking the spaces in a three-by-three grid with X or O. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row is the winner.
As Gill’s son tried to program a game of tic-tac-toe in Python, Gill found himself questioning why his son had to learn programming in the first place. “What if, instead of forcing humans to ...
