Tactix            21 March 2007

My latest noughts & crosses / tic-tac-toe program which I have used as practice for learning key programming techniques and concepts including handling functions and recursion.

It plays the game perfectly thanks to the use of the alpha-beta searching algorithm. Documented source code is included also.

Linx     v0.1a      3 April 2008

My version of the well known game of connect 4 written to help develop my understanding of search algorithms. Don't expect fancy graphics - it is a console based game - or perfect play (not much fun for a human player!). However, it has a variety of skill levels ('hard' is quite challenging with perfect endgame play!). 

The latest version 0.1a runs about 10% faster than the original release (v0.1).

The documented source code is included also in case this helps other novice programmers like me! You can see the 'read me' documentation here
