# 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

* There are three ways to play with this code
  * [Just the Agent](#just-the-agent) (as a node module dependency)
  * [Using the whole App](#using-the-whole-app)  
  * [Via the deployed API](#via-the-deployed-api)

## 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
