This is my first Ludum Dare. It is a basically the opposite of Tic-Tac-Toe. Both players have a circle chip and you do not want to get a certain number in a row. If the game is a board with 3 by 3 tiles, then you do not want to get 3 in a row. If it is 4 by 4, you do not want to get 4 in a row. And finally, if it is 5 by 5, you do not want get 5 in a row. You can play against the computer or you can play against a friend. Hit escape if you want to switch game mode. Have fun!
To download it, go to the link, then click file, and then click download.
Also, I think I might make this game an app for android. Is that a good idea? Should I make it cost $1 or free with ads? You tell me.
Also, I would like to make this game in browser and set up because that is pretty much how it is right now anyways and I rather not have people be confused so if you could tell me how or give me a link with it done, that would be great.
I suggest using Dropbox ( http://dropbox.com ). Place the jar and the HTML file in your Public folder, click on the HTML file and select Copy Public Link, and distribute that. Just to make sure that'd work, I uploaded it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5227720/Anti-Tac-Tic.html Feel free to use that as your link if you don't want to bother with dropbox, it shouldn't go anywhere.
I really like the game design! I've often wondered to myself, how do you fix tic-tac-toe? I'm not sure this is necessarily fixed (I think the player who goes first always wins, in optimal gameplay) but it's definitely better. Unfortunately, the AI is really easy to beat, but that's a problem that more time would solve I suspect.
This is a pretty interesting variation of tic-tac-toe. It has the same kind of simplicity as the normal game, so it was neat figuring out the winning strategy all over again. The AI doesn't quite seem to have it down, which makes it harder to analyze but is probably a good thing, because it looks pretty easy to force a win.
It was fun variation of Tic tac toe. One I got a hang on it the AI was easy to defeat. For my game. What version of java you have? I think you need atleast Java 7 to play my game.
That was really interesting to play, really nice reversal of tic tac toe or naught's and crosses. Had a lot of fun, was surprised how much fun I had actually. Really nice job.
