For those not familiar with this simple game, you play against your opponent (the GP32 in this case) placing your marks to form a row of five and at the same time blocking your opponent from doing the same with his marks. The direction of the row of five does not matter. Before the game begins, the players must decide who will play with crosses (X) and who with circles/wheels (O). Note: The playfield in this game can be as large as large piece of paper you manage to find. However, on the GP32 I limited the playfield to 40 x 30 squares, which I suppose should be enough (and it also voids me of having to implement scrolling similar to the one behind the main menu.[Description taken from the included readme file]Download Tic Tac Toe v1.0 for GP32
This is the first release of the Yeti3D engine. This version runs at 120×80 so the graphics arn’t as nice as the demo. The engine now fits completely into IRAM, so it should be faster on a GBA.http://www.theteahouse.com.au/gba/
