Unless you wanted to actually make AI for your tic tac toe game, I dont see why anyone would want a computer tic tac toe game, it's a game that that takes a whole 10 seconds to complete on paper, and this includes drawing the 4 lines it takes to actually play on.
You need nine squares (objects) that can display a nought, a cross, or empty. The strategies for the game aren't complex and should be easy enough in MMF, although perhaps a little time-consuming. To check if a game has been won, you need to check for certain sets of three objects being in the same state (alterable values could be used for this). There are a number of ways to do it, though.
I have used easygrid extension... I've made the grid, and the squares can be marked with no problem... but I still can't check points(in the case)... You need to mark 5 in a row or column or diagonals to win a point... the game only is over when theres no more possibility to win or when the squares are all checked(quite impossible)... I think I need to make a matrix, but I have no idea how to do it...

But isn't the idea behind MMF meant to be innovation? You could make a tic-tac-toe game with scores and ranks, and then league tables and tournaments and whatever. MSN tic-tac-toe sucks imo - but with MMF there are all kinds of things you could do to make it a good game.
I played 4-dimensional naughts-and-crosses today. Bit of a brainfuck at first, especially if you don't read the instructions.
I've done an implementation in javascript with AI. It's pretty simple since you can just hard-code the best move for any particular state of play (which there aren't all that many of if you exclude all the rotations).
I have some ideas to inovate the game... but this is not the problem... If someone have an engine, tutorial or something, please send it to me... cuz I don't know how to program it... I can implement some nice things later, when the game is funcional...

I'll explain the game... it's an 18 by 18 squares tic tac toe(naughts-and-crosses)game... the objective is to, at the end of the game, score more points than your oponent... you score a point marking 5 crosses or circles in sequence... the game is over when nobody have possibility of wining... this game is confusing, not like the original TTT, in which I can't find any fun... that's all I can say about...

If you have MMF, get the Advance Game Board object. I think its in one of the bonus packs.
If you then go to the extensions folder > demos > advanced game board - you'll find a CCA file which has examples of using the object. In there you'll find a tic-tac-toe example. Its a 3x3 example, but it shouldnt be too hard to make into another grid size.
Thx for the help Flava... but I don't have the extension here... nor this bonus pack... If someone send the extension with the example to my e-mail, I'll be grateful... I'm getting nervous, cuz I just wanna make a simple game... thx anyway...
