This was a successful first day beginning the Tic-Tac-Toe engine. We found the matchboxes, divided them up, and planned the layout. We even found a friend who agreed to help us build a board to hold the rows of matchboxes. (Thanks, Rod!)
We began creating the tic-tac-toe board permutations and have started puzzling out how to determine the machine moves efficiently.
Andrew named the engine (Tic-Tac-Terminator), Kevin created a score sheet in Excel, and Justin wrote out his 100 tic-tac-toe grids.
We even created this blog to document our progress and figured out how to take, upload, and post photos using the boys' digital camera. All in all, a terrific start to our first project.
Congratulations, boys!
(I also noted a great deal of enthusiasm regarding our second project when we figure out what to do with 10,000 leftover matches. Hmm, it seems we have several pyromaniacs on this team!)
