Ultimate TTT Algorithmic Competition

We are going to be playing a game of Ultimate Tic Tac Toe (you'll learn all about it soon). This documentation will help you write an intelligent algorithm.

Please read everything carefully!

Good Luck!

Before You Arrive

These are the minimum requirements to participate in the coding competition:

1. Have a code editor. The choice here is basically infinite, so I'll list the most popular and you can choose any.

   • Visual Studio Code (recommended)
   • Sublime Text
   • Atom

   Subjective, I know, and you might be screaming "emacs/vim are SO much better". We know them, and use them (vim personally), but this is targeting people without a code editor in their machine already.

2. Install Git

3. Install NodeJS >7

4. Install the competition client:

   npm install -g @socialgorithm/uabc

Test that it works by running:

uabc --version

And you should see a version number (e.g. 6.0.0)

Troubleshooting

Permission Denied / EACCES

If you see an EACCES error when you try to install a package globally: See the npm docs on permissions.

Lots of warning messages on Windows

If after running npm install you see loads of warning messages in red/yellow, this is typically ok and everything should work.
