Tic Tac Toe Coding Challenge

[BruceAmmons]

Here is the new coding challenge!!!  You need to create a vi that will play the game of tic tac toe.  It will be played on a 4x4 grid, and the objective is to LOSE the game, not win.  The complete rules are found on the LabVIEW Zone.

The attached template has the required inputs and outputs for testing.  If you don't use this template, I will not be able to test your submission.

I will answer any questions about the challenge on this forum.  Please post your questions here and don't email them to me.

Once there are a few submissions, I will start posting the current standings and update them frequently.

Can you be the biggest loser?

Bruce

Ooookay,

So to lose a game of TicTacToe more efficiently than simply placing random pieces.......

How 'bout some clear rules as to what TicTacToe actually is.....  There may be some out there who are not 100% certain on what exactly this game is.  Not me of course. >ahem<

Sounds like fun by the way,

Shane

Indeed that sounds fun, I really like Bruce's question : "Can you be the biggest loser?"

For french speaker who ignore what tic tac toe is, it's "le morpion" in french 😉 I'm sure it's easy to find some rule on the web.

:D....  OK so we have to be the best looser ?  ahem... just a reminder : a "morpion" in french is a crab loose. Now, where is this thread where I was fired down for trying to entertain the BreakPoint board with a classic (albeit silly...) french joke ? 😄

I don't see what you're talking about... have I missed a joke on the forum ? Could you find the link ?

You should be able to find it here, but as Altenbach pointed out, it's a lousy joke. If this is an example of classic french humor then the french should probably stick with making food.

P.S. As I mentioned in the last thread, I like this challenge. If I have time I might even take a shot at it.

Thanks for the link tst...

Have to admit that this is typical french humour - which indeed is terrible - but let me had that despite my frenchness (not my fault, I got it from my parents ;)) I do understand and prefer from far english humour.

L'humour anglais souligne avec amertume et désespoir l'absurdité du monde.

L'humour français se moque de ma belle-mère.

Sory Bruce, I apologize for spoiling this thread with dodgy jokes

Like tst, I am really interested in that challenge and will try to make an attempt 😉

[Ray.R]

I have to find some time for this challenge..

Thanks Bruce!

I think you left it right under your CVI workspace.
