I love the CPU voice.

I never quite worked out what the rules were

Nice concept, and the extensions to tic-tac-toe add a surprising amount of extra thought into the game.

Great fun, and really funny too.

The AI comments raised your production rating (at least mine) considerably. ;-)

Quite a fun game and quite well presented. The robot voices were mildly annoying and very generic sounding with no personality.

The game could be quite frustrating at times when you get far enough that you cant possibly win.

Really clever game design, and I love the voiceover. The graphics were a bit basic. A few more animated effects, for example when pieces were placed, would have helped (it would also draw attention to where your opponent has gone).

Sorry I'm on Linux and I don't have time to rename your data files right now. If I get a chance I'll come back to your entry!

I'll be honest: after seeing a size of 29Mib for a tic-tac-toe game I was sceptical about what the game would look like. I have to say: I was pleasantly surprised! The game is actually fun to play, original and well done. Escept for a small, tiny detail (I'd make a special mark for the last movement, since sometimes I can't find what the other player did), the game is simply great.

Kudos!

Interesting variation on an old game!

Decent AI, Entertaining. Nicely done.

YOU SCREWED UP THE CASE SENSITIVITY
AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK RENAMING STUFF TO PLAY TIC TAC TOE BOREDOM SQUARED

Hi, a nice first submission at PyWeek.

Fun:

First, I must admit that I don't have a lot of interest in board games. I expect that this affected the Fun score the most. I'm not sure what else I can say about this, other than: perhaps if I played against a human, where I had at least an emotional investment, I might have gotten more pleasure from this.

Innovation:

At first I thought, oh this is an intriguing extension. Then I looked up Tic Tac Toe on Wikipedia and saw many extensions of the basic Tic Tac Toe formula, at least a couple with 3x3 boards. Your take does have some interesting twists of rules. But in the end it looks like TTT has been done into the ground. That's ok! Just not very revolutionary, sorry. :)

Production:

The extra touches that you added--the settings, PvC, PvP, the taunting computer opponent (haha! :))--elevated this game a couple notches above the pedestrian experience. Kudos for that.

Maybe there would have been more if it weren't for time constraints?

No doubt I would this better if it were more visually appealing. Some bling of any kind, cycling colors, sparkles, mouseover highlights and tooltips, beveled images, slide-show background. Any of these cheap tricks can really elevate the production value.

Overall:

I think this was a solid effort for a board game, and really good for a first/solo entry. I'd like to see more. Hope you find my comments encouraging and helpful.

Interesting challenge. I managed to win first time, despite forgetting to read the instructions. The taunts are a nice touch.

I liked the idea, but I'm not going to clean that filename mess up. FILENAMES ARE CASE SENSITIVE
ON MANY SYSTEMS.

Great game TicTacToe with 2 dimensional entry. Your voice for computer is very great too

Love the banter, This is actually a really nice idea.

Wow, very nice work. Real shame about the capitalisation issues, not many windows users seem to realise that Linux is case-sensitive, but because I managed to (eventually :P) fix it, I won't give you DNW, but I think you'll get some from other people.

This is an amazing first pyweek entry! Especially for someone with such little experience with the language, you should pat yourself on the back. This is one of only two games so far that I've gone back and replayed, so well done you. :)

The graphics are fitting, and although I turned off sound, it sounds like you had fun in that department.
