I have bulit a naughts and crosses app that starts off dumb and slowly applies more logic over 8 games.

You can try it out at:

Its actually harder than you think as you have to know all routes to win to get the last 2 rules in play. Dont cheat by looking at the code.

Have fun ! If you can get to 9 wins you have descovered a flaw in my playing logic.

ah - v0.02 out now. Found a bug on the last rule, mean't you could get more than 8 wins, it was taking an already played in corner so it looked like you got an extra move.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
