(...) A little googling came up with this: "255,168 unique games of Tic Tac Toe to be played. Of these, 131,184 are won by the first player, 77,904 are won by the second player, and 46,080 are drawn." And the move tree is nested 5 layer deep (...)

It is most difficult if the bits are randomly scattered in the start area. I was looking to allow a variety of (...) (18 years ago, 10-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I am going to agree with Rob, and vitali, and then as a follow up, with you. While T3 has been done, I think its new to us. and "just the right" amount of challenge, and complexity.

(...) I agree with Vitali on this. its "simple" as a T3 game, yet, by allowing the balls/marbles (1) to start off to the side, opens up many different ways to play your ball. Chris 1. to be determined (18 years ago, 10-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I like this arrangement, I think the small field will allow for many to have different ideas rather then the X Y axis movement which will occur if the pieces are bigger. The fact the you marbles have to start in the solid line areas is pretty (...) (18 years ago, 10-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

Personally I believes that programming for original TTT will already be quite a challenge for me, so I think that 4x4 TTT will defiantly turn me away from the competition, unless you run two events together, 3x3 and 4x4 TTT. I think that some others (...) (18 years ago, 10-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well, I'm not really into this 3T concept because of two things: a) Deterministic b) Done before Not to say for b) we've done everything original, but in general I'd like to keep the flavour in that direction.
