Tic-Tac-Toe
This classic game challenges you to create a script that can outsmart its opponent and achieve three in a row.
Write a program that plays the game
Battle Scripts lets you learn to code by writing autonomous players for classic games. Pick a game, learn the rules, then write a program that plays it. Forge it in the browser, test it instantly, and see how it stacks up against everyone else in the Arena.
How it works
-
Step 1
Choose a game
Tic-Tac-Toe or Hide and Sink. Read the rules and what your script has to decide.
-
Step 2
Build it in the Forge
Write Python or Java in the browser and run it against the Codecraft opponent as often as you like.
-
Step 3
Add it to your Armory
Freeze a version you're happy with. That snapshot is what other people challenge.
-
Step 4
Fight in the Arena
Battle other players' scripts, watch the game back turn by turn, and climb the leaderboard.
