Did the program cheat? Tic tac toe is a tie if opponents play correctly.

I'm probably remembering it wrong, it was a long time ago. It definitely always either won or tied but could never lose, because it knew the right responses to every move. No, it didn't cheat lol.

How do you define cheating in such a simple game?

[–] rat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Placing moves in invalid locations, passing a turn, or making multiple moves on one turn?

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

There are no invalid locations in tic Tac toe, passing a turn provides no advantage, I suppose you could take extra turns to cheat.
