Stujo's Tic Tac Toe

Is it possible to create an unbeatable Tic Tac Toe agent which doesn't enumerate all the cases?

I'm sure it is, and this is my attempt

Just the Agent

$ mkdir ttt-client
$ cd ttt-client
$ npm init 
# Complete the init

Install the tictactoe-agent

$ npm install tictactoe-agent --save

Add: index.js

var TicTacToe = require('tictactoe-agent');

var model = new TicTacToe.Model('---------', 'X');

var recommendation = model.getRecommendation();

console.log(recommendation.index);

// Will Print out the recommended move

Using the Whole App

tictactoe is a command line node.js application which takes the game state and current player 'X' or 'O' as parameters as follows:

$ git clone git@github.com:stujo/javascript-node-tic-tac-toe.git
$ cd javascript-node-tic-tac-toe
$ ./tictactoe --------- x
********************************************************
#####
#   #
#   #
#   #
#####
********************************************************
* Recommendation for X is 2 (Score: 3)
********************************************************

The board state is provided as a string with hyphens denoting empty spots, and X or O marking the take spots

The spots on the board are numbered as follows:

#####
#012#
#345#
#678#
#####

The optional fourth parameter debug prints out debugging info:

$ ./tictactoe --------- x debug
