Tick-Tack-Toe-3D is intended to be a game add-on allowing the user to play an extended version of the classic tick-tack-toe game. Instead of playing on a 2D-sheet the game will be in 3D, that is the game area is a 4x4x4 cube.
The package will be written mainly in Java and there will be different kind of game-styles.
A GUI Application and a Terminal ASCII version will provide support for networked games and local games vs booth AI-players and other human players. An Applet version will finally be created to allow local games (including AI-players) to be played in a web-browser. Support for a "server only" application will exist so that the applet can also use networking if someone are willing to provide a server.
Open source means that Tick-Tack-Toe-3D is FREE an that the source-code is available to anyone who wants it.
Here are some key features of "Tick Tack Toe 3D":
· Local "Human vs Human" games works perfect(!).
· Networked "Human vs Human" games works fairly well, timeout handling could be imporved tough.
· Three built in AI players available, one is VERY slow and rather useless.
Requirements:
· Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later
Limitations:
· Errors and other messages are not handled in a satisfactory manner.
· Windows are "un-closable" on most systems.
What's New in This Release:
· LPHA 3 is out, this will probably be the last alpha release since most aspects of the game work fairly well, however I'd like to get the time to write a decent AI player before going to beta. Pete W have added two AIs that is really fast and that may be a challange for beginners in 3D-tick-tack-toe.
