    my tic tac toe is done .. fear?

    Well, I just finished my tic tac toe game. It took a lot more lines then I thought it would (1290) but I'm glad I did it. As far as I can tell the AI is unbeatable. If you play it and manage to win please send me a PM and tell me how you did it.

    I wrote this in C using Dev-C++. It should be readable by just about anyone. The only thing is I wish I knew how to get rid of the million ifs I have. If you look through code and can give me some tips I would appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who helped me out.

    Oops, I found a couple bugs when I was playing around with it, everything should be fixed now. Here's the updated code. Sorry.

    I have beat your AI on the first try with the following combination of moves: (1a, 2b) (3b, 1c) (3a, 2a) (3c, .....)

    I think you should work on that a bit more...in tic tac toe there are no losers/winners only if a player makes a mistake...AI shouldn't make mistakes...anyways...there is only a limited number of moves, and if you figure out how to "turn" the board you can code it really quickly...anyhow...if you want some more challanging material trying designing a nine men's morris game!
