Anyone know where I can get my hands on a mathematical treatment of 3D TicTacToe? Haven't seen it yet for the 48. Would be willing to convert a BASIC or HP41 program. Email would be just fine for replies. -- Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: My opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. ======================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mike@DRD.Com uunet!apctrc!drd!mike ========================================================================

Mike: The HP-41 User's Library Solutions book "Games" (volume 1), HP number 00041-90099, contains a 3-D TIC TAC TOE for the HP-41. It's the typical 4x4x4 board, and it's human versus computer. Since the entire book contains no copyright notice, I'd be glad to snail you a photocopy of the program and its description (9 pages); send s.a.s.e. to Joseph K. Horn / 1042 Star Route / Orange, CA 92667. Be warned, however. The book says, "Unlike regular Tic Tac Toe, there is no known winning strategy for the 3-D version. It is a much more complex game which can require considerable skill in a player, allowing for very complicated strategies." -- Joseph K. Horn -- Peripheral Vision, Ltd. --
