Simple, quick, funny! - Party mode with two local players 👥 - Three difficulty levels:. easy: the game plays (almost) randomly;. medium: the game knows some strategy;. hard: the game knows almost all best strategies (but you can win with some tricks, and sometime it makes mistakes).
At its core, Quantum TicTacToe is very similar to regular, classical, TicTacToe. In classical TicTacToe, two players X and O alternate turns and pick squares on which to put their symbol. Three X’s or three O’s in a row (or column or diagonal) results in a win for that player. If you’ve never played TicTacToe before, try it out in the game above and keep the quantumness-slider all the way to the left (No Quantum).
If you’re ready to move beyond the classical world and into the quantum realm, it’s time to increase the quantumness! We’ll explain all of the quantum moves below. Some of these moves are disabled depending on the quantumness level. For those who just want to start playing, here’s how they can be performed:
As a first step, let’s try out the Minimal Quantum setting. This setting allows you do perform a quantum move that gives you possibilities that regular TicTacToe will never have. Namely, you can click&hold on an empty square and release on another empty square to create what quantum physicists call a
When two squares are in a superposition, it means that your X (or O!) is in both places at once, until it is forced to pick one over the other. This is very similar to a coin with heads or tails that is forever spinning on its side. Whilst spinning, we can equally well say it is both heads and tails simultaneously! Only when it stops spinning, because of friction or because we push it over, does the coin pick a side. The same is true with quantum superpositions. In the game, we force all the superpositions to pick a side when the board is full.
You can also force a superposition to decide by using the
Hint: At this level of quantumness, see if you can use superpositions to block your opponent from making a winning move!
At a moderate level of quantumness, three new quantum features become available on top of the Minimal Quantum settings.
The first thing you’ll notice, is that when you place a single square it no longer turns red. Instead, the square stays blue, indicating that it has not yet been measured. To win the game, you need to have three measured squares in a row/column/diagonal. So having three blue X’s in a row/column/diagonal does not mean you win!
To turn blue squares into red squares, you either need to measure them with the
But beware. As long as a square is blue, your opponent can
There is one more quantum feature in this mode: you can place another superposition on top of your own! This is where things become really strange. If you have two superpositions on top of each other, you’ll notice that you only get to see
Hint 1: Use entanglement to get a shot at swapping your opponent’s square with your own.
Hint 2: Try to use two superpositions of your own squares as a chance for erasing a mistake.
At this level of quantumness, even more features become available on top of the Moderate Quantumness level. If you can play this level of the game confidently, you’re really starting to grasp the way the quantum realm works.
In this mode, you can entangle your square with part of an opponent’s superposition. The resulting 3-square entangled state is quite complicated, and can result in
This mode is called mostly quantum, and not fully quantum, because the full quantum world would allow for more than 3-square entangled states. Visualizing this for a game is a very difficult task! (But that doesn’t mean I won’t try for future versions! So keep an eye out for that.)
Tic Tac Toe is an integral part of our childhood memories. It is a fun game consisting of two players who battle each other using Xs and Os. But did you know that this game can be a good C++ project? If you program it correctly, you can have fun playing it on your PC with your friends again.
This tutorial explains how to create a simple game of tic tac toe using C++ programming language. This article contains a simple source code of the Tic Tac Toe game for two players with proper documentation.
Tic-tac-toe is a game where two players X and O fill the hash (#) shaped box (consist of two vertical lines crossing two horizontal lines) with their alternate turns. The player who first fills the box with 3Xs or 3Os in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal manner will win the game.
In some cases, when none of the players succeeds in filling the boxes horizontally, vertically, or diagonally with 3Xs or 3Os, then the game will be considered to be a draw.
Creating a Tic Tac Toe game in C++ is easy. We can create a two-player Tic Tac Toe game in C++ language usingArray, Function, and True-Falsecondition.
