1. 3d tic tac toe help
I just found a new game. Its a real joy to play! Oh, by the way, its in=
the Euphoria package, called #d Tic Tac Toe. But I've always had
difficulty picturing 3d objects in 2d, and I need a little help visualizi=
ng
this.
First, if this were on a board, would this be played on a cube? If so, h=
ow
are the four grids related? The only way I can understand this is to see=
how the computer beats me, but its a shot in the dark every time.

Imagine three tic-tac-toe grids, one on top of the other... you can
place your 'x' or 'o' in any square not currently occupied. When,
looking from the top, you get three in a row, you win!

When thinking about 3D Tic Tac Toe the following truth applies.
If the center square in the middle board is the first move taken
by the first player then second player hasn't a chance at winning.
The first player can easily win if that square is taken first.
