------------------ A.I. Toc Tac Toe ------------------ (C) 2005 Marcello Zaniboni - v. 1.0 (mzaniboni@hotmail.com, marcello.zaniboni@poste.it) PROGRAM INFO It's a tic tac toe game against the computer: the program shows you the computer learning from its own mistakes (when it looses a match, it saves its moves and tries not to repeat them, to avoid loosing again). At the beginning of the game, the only thing the computer knows is that it has to move where there are 2 other equal Xs or Os in the same row. Obviously this is not enough to play well; ...game by game it will learn not to loose at all. HARDWARE REQUESTS The game really runs better on ZX Spectrum systems (having a minimum of 48 KB of RAM). By the way it is written in ANSI C and you can compile it using every standard C compiler. In this case you will loose the possibility to experience the very great graphics from Luciano "Lucky" Costarelli and the incredible sounds effects played by the ZX beeper. The standard zip file provides a Microsoft Windows executable. ZX Spectrum: 48 KB of RAM Other systems: No colors needed Minimum 40 columns text-only console or window If you want to experience the ZX Spectrum version but you (what an unlucky creature!) do not have such hardware, you can use emulators: http://www.zxspin.co.uk/ (Windows) http://www.ramsoft.bbk.org/realspec.html (Windows and DOS) http://bonanzas.rinet.ru/apps/EmuZWin_Eng.htm (Windows) http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/ (Linux / Unix / MacOS) ... you'll only have to load the .tzx file :-) LICENSE This version is released under GNU GPL License.
