Tic-tac-toe on π4
This program is a supplement to "Tic-Tac-Toe
on
a Finite Plane",
appearing in Mathematics Magazine, October 2004.
Just a few instructional notes before you play the
game:
In order to help you learn the winning lines, the
program will audibly indicate that you have won or lost, but you
must identify the winning line. The horizontal and vertical
winners
are easy to find. I have included the
mutually orthogonal Latin squares beneath the game board to help you
spot
the others. After you
get the hang of it, see if you can find a method that will produce a
win
every time.

Thanks for playing.
A Java enabled browser is required to play the game.
