there is currently no AI, just 2 player. If someone wants to build an AI then they can publish the next version. ther is a channel 100 wifi out on the red turn marker to tell an AI to take its turn. Updated signs.

    @dom2mom. You should go in whatever direction you want to. I look forward to seeing it.

    putting the dot in that line would actually go into the spot it wants to block (because a CPU of the design I mentioned would be easy to manipulate to help you, you would just have to make it so that putting a dot in the remaining spot would let you place a dot on top of it and win), and therefore be more "intelligent". However, I'm just going with a basic design right now.

    I was actually thinking of using a different method... I would have a randomizer pick a number from 1-4. Then it would use the modules you already made to check and see if there is a winning row the is that number of dots completed. It would then attempt to place a dot in the remaining spot(s). Maybe in a later version it might actually see if

    Well, BASIC is extremely easy to program, that's it's whole point!

    of course dom2mom said he is going to build one. others are welcome to try also. It could yield interesting results and would be cool to see what solutions different people come up with.

    I programmed a tic tac toe game in Visual Basic once that used that kind of logic. It appeared as though the thing was thinking. no one I showed it to suspected that it was that simple.

    Kind of. the detection modules I made for the win conditions could be used to detect any combination of lit spaces. if someone would like to spend the time figuring out all the possible block blue conditions and build it all and then programming the crap load of wifi. Then yes it si possible to make a cpu that will at least try and stop you from winning and by nature it will win by accident on occasion.

    i wonder if you can acually make a cpu for this!

    I will be happy to act as a consultant when you build it.
