NAME
     ttt - tic-tac-toe

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/games/ttt

DESCRIPTION
     ttt is the popular X and O game, but it is also a learning program that
     never makes the same mistake twice.

     When you begin, the program prompts you with

          Accumulated knowledge? ( Yes or No )

     You must respond with a yes or no.  The program tells you how many
     "words" of knowledge it currently has in its learning file. Then ttt
     states whether or not this is a new game, prints a three-by-three grid of
     numbers 1-9, and prompts with "Your move?" as shown below:
          new game

          123
          456
          789
          Your move?
     As you specify numbers in the grid, the program places an "X" in the
     location where the number once was.  After you move, the program takes a
     turn, placing an "O" in an available spot.  This continues until either
     you or the program wins by creating a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal
     line of three of the same characters in a row on the grid. To exit the
     game, type an interrupt.

     Although it learns, ttt learns slowly. It must lose nearly 80 games to
     completely know the game.
