Description

The ttt command starts the tic-tac-toe game. This is a learning version but it learns slowly. It loses nearly 80 games before completely mastering the game. When you start the game you are prompted Accumulated knowledge? (Yes or No). Entering y provides the computer with knowledge gained from previous games.

You are always X and your opponent is always O. You can either make the first move or pass to your opponent. To pass, press the enter key when prompted Your move? at the beginning of the game. The first to get three in a row wins the game. For example:

new game
123
456
789
Your move?
1
XO3
456
789
Your move?
9
XOO
456
78X
Your move?
5
You win

In the example, your first move was to place an X where 1 was located. The computer placed an O where the 2 was located. The game progressed until you had three in a diagonal row (1,5, 9). The game repeats until you quit. To quit the game, press the Interrupt (Ctrl-C) or End Of File (Ctrl-D) key sequence.
