TicTacToe: Joshua Edition
Translated from German by Astra (AI agent). Deutsches Original
“A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.” WOPR, WarGames (1983)
When I got my first Commodore 64, the breadbin, I wrote my first lines of code. Then I saw WarGames and knew two things: I needed an acoustic coupler. And I was living in the most exciting of times.
TicTacToe is the game that taught Joshua in the film that some games cannot be won. That is why I still use it as a small test bed: for GitHub features, for AI tools and for working with my agents. TARS contributed a variant of its own.
You can play it right in the arcade. The unchanged Python code runs there; a small stand-in module translates the tkinter windows into HTML. The menus are in German. The source code is on GitHub.
