Question

Er, you wouldn't need php or jquery for that, you could write it all in javascript, unless you had some desire to log win/loss results. Hell, you could even do that for one player locally.

 

Figure out how to store the data (hint: arrays), then figure out the test cases. It's not hard, since there's no such thing as winning in tic-tac-toe, only not losing.

So is this a game of Tic Tac Toe played over the Internet between two computers?

I guess you'd need to POST the moves of Player 1 using AJAX to a PHP script (adding this to a DB), then Player 2's browser would be polling the server using another PHP script (querying the DB) and an AJAX GET request to update the game on their end, and vice-versa?

Well when i click somewhere AI to click too after my move. Me click -> AI click -> Me Click -> AI click and so on till some one wins or its ties. I just need some logic and examples thats all.

ok well personally I would store all the moves in a PHP array ..but as for the "AI" ...its a loose term its actually simulated AI ....it gives the impression of intelligence and while you may or may have not known that is irrelevant what you have to remember is not matter what... you are going to have to program all its moves.. whether you right a mathmatical algorithm or if you simply write a database full of possible outcomes 

 

I would have to sit down and think about it but personal I would go with a lengthy algo ...you can write a list of functions but the main thing you need to do is make it play one move ahead then return the previous step. its hard to explain but not hard to program lol

i don't know how i can make the clicks. Which is better to have 9 divs and when to click them to send some ajax or buttons ?

its what ever you are more comfortable with coding ? with this there is no standard and with code there normally is not just one way... do the way you think you can or atleast prefer the sounds of.... or ...do both ? either way you are going to have to link to ajax for real time :L

Sounds quite a fun piece of homework haha.

 

How about doing a simple 3x3 table, with numerical id's. Use JQuery to add an event listener to look out for a click of a TD, grab the ID of the table and change the background image of that to one of the symbols. Once that's done, call an AI function which looks out for which images are in the grid, and where it could make a line using the numerical ID's?

 

If you need that logic doing in PHP, store the results in a DB once called to make a move and do the logic that way. Or, if you want something simple. just fire off the state of the full table every move so you can work out the AI's move without needed a DB.

<table>
	<tr>
		<td id='1-1'></td>
		<td id='1-2'></td>
		<td id='1-3'></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td id='2-1'></td>
		<td id='2-2'></td>
		<td id='2-3'></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td id='3-1'></td>
		<td id='3-2'></td>
		<td id='3-3'></td>
	</tr>
</table>
$('td').click(function(e) {
	makeMove(e.target.id);
});

function makeMove(square) {
	$.ajax("?square="+square function(data){
		//Set table background
		aiMove();
	});
}

function aiMove() {
	//AI Calculations
	//AJAX or 
}

That's very simple, but does that help? Just don't want to do your homework for you ;)

Seems kinda pointless involving PHP to be honest, makes much more sense for it all to be done in the browser (unless you want to add multi-player (node would be better here) or just save scores server side).

 

Only reason i can see to involve php would be if its some badly spec'ed out homework "/

If its homework, may just be to show how to hide game logic from the user so it isn't exploited as easily. Harder to force the AI to let you win if you don't have direct access to it the way you would with JavaScript. Just a guess though.

I got this:

 

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){


$('td').click(function(e) {
makeMove(e.target.id);
});


function makeMove(square){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "tictactoeAjax.php",
data: 'test=' + square,
success: function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
}
});


</script>


<table border="1" width="300" height="300" id="tictactoe" name="table">
<tr>
<td align="center" id='0'></td>
<td align="center" id='1'></td>
<td align="center" id='2'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" id='3'></td>
<td align="center" id='4'></td>
<td align="center" id='5'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" id='6'></td>
<td align="center" id='7'></td>
<td align="center" id='8'></td>
</tr>
</table>

But how can i set X and O backgrounds?, thanks.

Either with images, or just use jQuery's .html() to push X and O characters to the divs.

 

I really hope this isn't homework, at this point. :laugh:

Absolutly makes no sense to do this with PHP.

You are 100% right. Being able to hide the source code from the player so they don't manipulate it is 100% useless. :rolleyes: Since you clearly have no real input for this discussion, I look forward to not seeing anymore posts from you so we can continue to see how xScence tackles this task.

I have this html:

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

  <title>Tic-Tac-Toe</title>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){


var turn = 0;
var tic = '';






$('td').click(function(e) {
turn = 1;
if(turn == 1){
tic = 'O';
}
makeMove(e.target.id);
});


function makeMove(square){


$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "tictactoeAjax.php",
data: { clicked: square, symbol: tic, bot: 0 }
}).done(function(ret){
$("#"+square).html('O');
turn = 2;
aiTurn(square);
});


}


function aiTurn(square){


turn = 2;


if(turn == 2){
tic = 'X';
}


$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "tictactoeAjax.php",
data: { clicked: square, symbol: tic, bot: 1 }
}).done(function(ret){
alert(ret);
$("#" + ret).html('X');
});


}
});
</script>
<body>


<table border="1" width="300" height="300" id="tictactoe" name="table">
<tr>
<td align="center" id='1'></td>
<td align="center" id='2'></td>
<td align="center" id='3'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" id='4'></td>
<td align="center" id='5'></td>
<td align="center" id='6'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" id='7'></td>
<td align="center" id='8'></td>
<td align="center" id='9'></td>
</tr>
</table>


</body>
</html>

The ajax:

<?php
require('conf.php');
session_start();
$clicked = $_POST['clicked'];
$symbol = $_POST['symbol'];
$bot = $_POST['bot'];


if($bot == 0){
//Human
$sql = mysql_query("UPDATE movies SET symbol = '".$symbol."' WHERE field='".$clicked."'") or die (mysql_error());
if($sql){
echo $symbol;
}
}elseif($bot == 1){
//AI
function ai_think(){
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM movies WHERE symbol = 'O'") or die (mysql_error());


while($rows = mysql_fetch_object($sql)){


//$rows->field returns 17

/*



*/

}


}
echo ai_think();
//$sql = mysql_query("UPDATE movies SET symbol = '".$symbol."' WHERE field='".ai_think()."'") or die (mysql_error());
}


?>

DB:

sql.jpg

So now if player (me) clicked on 1 and 7 position the AI must place in position 4 so he will stop me to make 3 same symbols.
but if i use this code:

if($rows->field == 1 && $rows->field == 7){
//nothing happens
}
if($rows->field == 17){
//its stays in this if so if i make other operations they wont be checked because this returns allways true
}

I need some logic here: to check (most) strategy and stop them. Thanks alot.

while($rows = mysql_fetch_object($sql)){


//$rows->field returns 17


}

    • Anno 117: Pax Romana gets a November release date as Ubisoft unveils Governor's Edition by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ubisoft's long-running city-building and management franchise, Anno, was first revealed to be receiving another entry back in 2024. While it has taken some time, Anno 117: Pax Romana finally received a firm release date today during the 2025 PC Gaming Show event just as pre-orders open up. Catch the latest cinematic trailer above. Anno 117: Pax Romana lands on November 13, 2025, letting fans loose on the Roman settlement-building venture. The game's first gameplay was revealed just a few weeks ago as well, which you can watch by heading here. As new features, the title is adding a province selection mechanic at the start of each game, a religion system, a research tree, land combat, modular shipbuilding, and, most importantly, diagonal roads and building construction. Those who pre-order the game will also receive a Builder Pack from today. This will carry the Wolf player sigil, a matching battle standard, the Town Crier statue, as well as the Capitoline Wolf statue. At the same time, a Gold Edition is available for pre-order that bundles the Year 1 Pass with the base game. This will carry access to three DLC packs, and judging by the teaser image, it looks like players will be heading to Egypt for new adventures as part of the expanded content. For fans who may want something a little more comprehensive, Ubisoft also unveiled the Anno 117 Governor’s Edition. This special edition comes with these collector's items and digital goodies: Collector's items: Amphitheatre 3D Puzzle (36 x 31 x 13 cm) 84-page Artbook featuring concept art and behind-the-scenes content - cover design elected by community! Forged Anno Symbol (approx. 7 cm) Albion & Latium Coins Steelbook® case - design elected by community!

In addition to the base game, members will also receive access to the upcoming DLC packs at launch for no extra cost.
    • Once the first went to a full version number, some just egregiously long numbers with every iteration of compilations/dates/times... what have you, it was a landslide. Long gone are the days of IE version 6, 7... now it's Edge 137.0.3296.16. So, why not iOS 2026.18.8778.322.10.800? Shocked that Edge isn't 2025.137.0.3296.16... seriously. When Samsung went from S10 to S11, to S20... to S21... I thought they were just doing new iterations of the same/similar models, then the next would have logically been S30/S31... but nope. Oh well... better things to think about then version numbers, leave that to the devs.
    • The problem -- as pointed to by the PowerShell output I quoted above -- was that for some reason it couldn't download the NuGet provider. Here's what did work: (1) Download the raw nupkg file (set-inetpubfolderacl.1.0.0.nupkg) from https://www.powershellgallery....s/Set-InetpubFolderAcl/1.0; (2) Extract (e.g., via 7-Zip) the Set-InetpubFolderAcl.ps1 file into C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Scripts; (3) Run the script via PowerShell as described in the quite thorough instructions given at https://www.windowslatest.com/...t-on-windows-11-windows-10/ . That worked for me, or seemed to. Oh, relief!
    • I like the show's/comic's violence being represented here, as so many others avoid it. Timing is key with this release due to the Marvel Tokon title.
