Xoont 2. o0o. 2

Coon. Xoont. Xoonz. Xoons. Coons.
Honaz. Is a non-existent word before this publication. It is also a city in Turkey. Now it will be filled with a different meaning. This is not the correct abbreviation for the combination of words: tic-tac-toe for three.

This text is about how to write down the notation (each move) in this interpretation of the well-known simplest game and a hint on how to organize the tournament grid.

Numbering from top to bottom and left to right. The game consists of three games, not to be confused with the format of up to two wins. This is a separate topic...

Let me remind you that the Tic-Tac-Toe and Toe-Tic-Tac texts describe the third player in detail.

But now practice suggests that the rules have matured to such a detailed specification of the number and quality of players. A PREREQUISITE is the number of players from a minimum of -1 to a maximum of 3. Yes, the minus is not accidental, it is not a hyphen, not a dash. There is a variant of the game when no one wants to play... When all (even when all is one person) the players don't want to play.


I called this situation an absolutely practical anonymity Minus the First Player: Mpi — Mega Pi.

Now, you will understand in practice.


Example number 1. Ask a random passerby to guess the number from 1 to 9. Repeat 27-33 times. Well, or any multiple of 3 times. What for? Because these numbers are three times the robot's turn. Why bother so much? There's really no need! Full - MPi!

Example number 2. Honaz's game takes place among people who have just met. Let's say a board game club or in front of a classroom at school. And they have their favorite theme games, but they refuse to play toe-tac-tic for three. They do this through a stump deck.  One player is in a hurry - he calls the number from 1 to 9 too quickly. The other is offended and freaks out in silence - saying that HOnaZ is a stupid game, and he/she will not name a single number. The goal is the same - to write out random values from 1 to 9 approximately 9 * 3 times in a column of three numbers. And don't babble with those who don't want to. And just use them! Let them play their games... It's time to turn on the +1 player mode. You sit away from the group of such "helper friends" and start playing alone.

Example number 3. The options for collecting random numbers from 1 to 9, as well as numbering 9 cells of the tic-tac-toe field, can be dynamic, or a mobile random number generator can be used. Change your mind, come up with it yourself, but do not change the numbering of the cells during the game! Let me remind you that the standard numbering of cells is from left to right and from top to bottom. But you can reencrypt every time if there is nothing to do... But why ?

Enough examples! In short, let's move on to the next stage of the rules.

It's called a live move, or a player's move for himself, or a move as usual. And it starts by searching for the Jackpot in a column of three numbers. And then, yes, everything is like in the usual Tic-Tac-toe cherodum moves: the player, the player with the robot.

Should I list all the winning combinations in bingo? How many are there in total?
All software options, etc. etc.
Vertically and horizontally: 147,258,369; ... ;741,852,963; 321, 654, 987 ... 123; 456; 789 And everything is clear to everyone. Is it clear that the order of the numbers in the triples is not important?
Diagonals:159, 357...
TOTAL: 3+3+2 =8
I repeat, there are only 8 "bingo" lines here!

And if this line is not occupied by a cross or a zero, then the stupid, even stupid bot wins! Well, he's really dumb. He can name the same number three times, and in addition, he doesn't remember the cell anymore. Therefore, it is necessary to know and memorize eight combinations: 159,147,123,258,357,369,456,789.

And in my childhood, children were not mossy and cried when they lost. Although now there may be a general hysteria bias.

Well, in principle, I said the main thing. A game of Хооnt consists of three games: one player for himself - the other for himself and the robot; on the contrary - another player plays with the robot; both with the robot. No, you can't do without a robot at all! Not even once! And you can't do it for a lot of money! And in 100 years it will be impossible!

The game is considered to be won with 2 wins in at least three games.

Yes, and the question of how to draw with a pencil and pen on the monitor is also revealed in the Tic-Tac-Toe and Tic-toe-Tac.
