    Cool Arrrr, how do i make my game harder

    Hi Ppl,

    I sat down this afternoon and for some off reason decided to make a windows tic tac toe game, which i havnt done before.
    Any way i did, and it works. But i am not to hot at programming hard AI. Can someone look over my program and tell me if i need to make it harder? Or if i do how i can do it with not to much changing.

    Thanks for any help

    Your game is good but I noticed one problem:
    if you go in the same place twice it promts you not to but then lets the computer play again before your turn.

    Give the AI a little foresight: if the other player has two boxes checked, there's a very good chance he intends to go for three in a row. So, identify which boxes are checked, figure out the most logical next move for the human, and let the AI take that spot. Also, you might consider placing a high priority on taking the middle early on since it's usually easier to block your opponent with command of the center.
