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.
Tic-tac-toe is an instance of an m,n,k-game, where two players alternate taking turns on an m × n board until one of them gets k in a row. [1] Harary's generalized tic-tac-toe is an even broader generalization. The game can also be generalized as a n d game. [2] The game can be generalised even further from the above variants by playing on an ...
Top part of Tic-tac-toe game tree. Breadth-first search ( BFS) is an algorithm for searching a tree data structure for a node that satisfies a given property. It starts at the tree root and explores all nodes at the present depth prior to moving on to the nodes at the next depth level. Extra memory, usually a queue, is needed to keep track of ...
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 ...
Brian Silverman. Brian Silverman is a Canadian computer scientist, the creator of many programming environments for children, [1] and a researcher in cellular automata . Silverman was a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s, where he was one of the creators of a tinkertoy computer that played tic-tac-toe. [2]
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 ...
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 ...
