- "Tic Tac Mac" is an unusual Tic Tac Toe game for kids of all ages. The
- graphics are colorful, the program is system 7.0 compatable,
- and the algorithm is very challenging.
-
- The program has the following features:
-
- (1) The user chooses who moves first and what symbol the user
- prefers. Instead of the usual X and O, this program draws
- the image of a little boy's face or a little girl's face.
-
- (2) The little boy and little girl images are drawn in color.
-
- (3) If the computer moves first, the first move is random. All other
- moves are based on the computer's best knowledge.
-
- (4) The user moves by clicking the mouse in the desired square.
-
- (5) An "UNDO" function is included in case the user changes their
- mind about a particular move.
-
- (6) If a winning path is detected, the winning squares light up,
- the winner is declared, and frowns appear on the
- losing players' faces.
-
- (7) If the game ends up tied, a tie is declared.
-
- (8) A running tally of wins, losses, and ties is continually
- updated.
-
- (9) A variety of colorful and helpful sets of instructions
- are featured. All choices can be made with the mouse.
-
- (10) The user can quit the game at any time by choosing the
- "QUIT" rectangle in lower left of the screen.
-
- (11) I haven't beaten the computer yet. How about you?
-
-

- Programmer's Workshop. The language used was Pascal.
