I. Introduction
I decided to make this game after my graph link broke. I couldn't download any games, so I decided to make my own. I actually had to type it up before I could release it. I think this game is better than all other versions on the TI-86, but it is a little bigger.
II. How to Play
If you don't know play tic-tac-toe, I don't know how you could know how to turn on your calculator. But if you do know how to play I will explain how to play it on the TI-86. First run the program TIC. Then, you can either choose a 1 player or 2 player game. You will then enter your name(s) (6 letters max). If you select a 1 player game the calculator will always go first (this may not be true in future versions). This is because the calculator is somewhat smart, but not, well probably not, as smart as you. The very first time you run the program, the calculator first turn will take a while. This is because there is a seperate program (AI) that the calculator uses. To place an "x" or an "o" you use the numbers as shown in the following:
1 | 2 | 3
--+---+--
4 | 5 | 6
--+---+--
7 | 8 | 9
III. Bugs
There are no known bugs. However, there is a very slight "problem" with the AI. If you can find it, you can use it to your advantage. If you find a bug email me. There may be bugs, because I manually typed in the game from my calculator.
