Ultimate tic-tac-toe (also known as super tic-tac-toe, meta tic-tac-toe or (tic-tac-toe)²[ 1]) is a board game composed of nine tic-tac-toe boards arranged in a 3 × 3 grid. [ 2][ 3] Players take turns playing on the smaller tic-tac-toe boards until one of them wins on the larger board. Compared to traditional tic-tac-toe, strategy in this ...
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 ...
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 ...
Game tree. In the context of combinatorial game theory, which typically studies sequential games with perfect information, a game tree is a graph representing all possible game states within such a game. Such games include well-known ones such as chess, checkers, Go, and tic-tac-toe. This can be used to measure the complexity of a game, as it ...
The game tree size is the total number of possible games that can be played: the number of leaf nodes in the game tree rooted at the game's initial position.. The game tree is typically vastly larger than the state space because the same positions can occur in many games by making moves in a different order (for example, in a tic-tac-toe game with two X and one O on the board, this position ...
Incidence structure for tic-tac-toe. The game can be generalized to an m,n,k-game, in which two players alternate placing stones of their own color on an m-by-n board with the goal of getting k of their own color in a row. Tic-tac-toe is the 3,3,3-game. [5] Harary's generalized tic-tac-toe is an even broader generalization of tic-tac-toe.
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 ...
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 ...
