Hi Bonz! So if I understand correctly, as long as an entry never loses (and it puts the right characters in the right place on the screen) it will pass the...

... ttt.pas works - always wins, but is not optimal. If you play X's, and computer plays O's, it does it like this: 1. X - 3 O - 5 (computer) 2. X - 7 O - 8 ...

hi, why do you want to fix the algorithm to one special? that the algorithm has to be deterministic is understandable, but why the heck can't i choose an...
