It may be deterministic, but I doubt many could fit the entire
solution tree into an RCX.
How about making time a factor. In a cat's game, the faster playing
bot wins (would need a way to time accurately, though).
I think the complexity of programming TTT on a 4x4 grid will scare off
people. If you want to make it more unique, consider:
- varying the shapes (use crosses and pucks made of bricks, not
knowing which you have to handle)
- vary the play-field. How about vertical cubby holes like a
shoe-shelf that you have to place pieces into?
- randomize the start position... Have the pieces start in a "bin" or
"zone" and your bot has to find them, rather than allowing them to be
pre-loaded into a magazine.
(I personally like the idea of marbles, though, and a decent 3x3TTT
algorithm would challenge me just enough in standard firmware)
