I sure we can...
How much experience do you have with the PICs?
How much experience do you have with PBP?
What code have you written so far?
How many projects have you built so far?
Can you make an LED blink?
Can you make an LED light up when pushing a button?

Hi vinoth kumar,

Welcome to the forum.

I would also add:
How much experience do you have with tic tac toe?

Alright so the first question to ask yourself if you are ready for the project is, "what kind of screen or visualization method do you want to use?"

That is to say do you intend to use led's, lcd, or a pc interface, or some other thing I haven't thought of.

the next is "how my users play?" IE Buttons, keyboard, serial response.


getting a pic to do all the processing over the serial port before you build anything "real". May actually be the easiest way to start after that.

So figure out how your gonna have the pic store all those x's o's and nothings. You can probably use lookup tables.

Ok now you can store the info, but no matter how many you get in a row doesn't matter.

now make an engine that determines when someone has won.

yay! you have tic tac toe.

then, you can make the ai to make it beat you without having to lose to yourself. ^^

at any time in between these steps, or afterwards you can design the interface. But that most assuredly will not be the hard part.

Thank u gandora , for ur kind response,

Actually i want use 3*3 LED matrix for display (Bicolour LEDs if possible)

and some keys like those in the calculators .

With out interfacing with PC will be better

our game should have two options 1) one player mode (i.e, playing with pic)
2) two player mode
and peizo buzzer to announce the winner.

main aim is to keep things as simple as possible!!!

How much experience do you have with tic tac toe?

That's a very good question that Adam has asked. You can't possibly expect to design an expert system unless you're an expert in what you're attempting to "mimic". I strongly suggest that you first proceed to master the game. Have someone play against you with pen & paper and when you can say that you can either win or draw every time, then you know it's time to start the project.

Best of luck with it!
