This tutorial features how to make a Tic-Tac-Toe game only using notepad!

[1]First off, launch Notepad

[2]Type this into the notepad
-
Code:
@echo off

title Banzai's Tic Tac Toe

title Noughts and Crosses

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

::~ ^^^ Stops all commands appearing on screen, sets the title and enables the use of ! for environment variable

:menu

cls

echo Main Menu

echo To Play A 1-Player Game, Enter 1

echo To Play A 2-Player Game, Enter 2

echo To Exit, Enter 3

set /p menu=

if not defined menu goto menu

if /i %menu% equ 1 (

set menu=

cls

goto 1p

)

if /i %menu% equ 2 (

set menu=

cls

goto 2p

)

if /i %menu% equ 3 (

goto end

)

set menu=

goto menu

::~ ^^ The menu system, gives all the options, allows the user to input a number using "set /p menu="

:~ If the user didn't enter a value, it 'goto's back to ask again.

::~ Checks the Menu variable, tests to see if it matches 1, 2 or 3, then 'goto's the appropriate place.

set turns=0

set x1=0

set x2=0

set x3=0

set x4=0

set o6=0



set o7=0



set o8=0



set o9=0









::~ Sets the number of turns taken so far to 0



::~ Sets all the places on the noughts and crosses grid to 0















set d1=1



set d2=2



set d3=3



set d4=4



set d5=5



set d6=6



set d7=7



set d8=8



set d9=9









::~ Sets the display characters for game to their appropriate number









set rnumber=%random%



set rnumber2=%rnumber%



set /a rnumber= %rnumber% / 2



set /a rnumber= %rnumber% * 2









::~ Sets a variable "rnumber" to a random number



::~ Sets a variable "rnumber2" to the same number as "rnumber"



::~ Divides "rnumber" by two, then multiplies by two.



::~ If the number was even, it would be equal to "rnumber2", if it was odd it would end up one less than "rnumber2"



::~ This is the method I use to create a 50% chance, as there's a 50% that a random number will be odd or even

goto 1display



) else (



echo Noughts go first



echo You are noughts



pause>nul



set rnumber=



set rnumber2=



set go=1ogame



goto 1display



)









::~ This tests to see if the numbers are equal, then sets the "go" variable to whichever possibility came out and deletes the "rnumber" variables



::~ Then 'Goto's the display

echo Your Turn



echo.



goto %go%









::~ ^^ Displays the current status of each place in the grid. At the start these will all just be numbers.



::~ Checks that the turns hasn't reach nine. If it has, all the spaces on the grid have been used up and nobody has won, so the game is a draw.









:1ogame



echo Choose the number of the space you'd like to choose



set guess=



set /p guess=



if not defined guess goto 1display

if /i not %guess% leq 9 goto 1display



if /i not %guess% gtr 0 goto 1display



if /i !d%guess%! neq %guess% goto 1display



goto 1o%guess%









::~ Asks the user to input the number of the space they want to choose and allows them to using "Set /p"



::~ If the user didn't input or entered something that wasn't a number between 1 and 9, it 'goto's back, to ask again



::~ Checks that the number hasn't been already chosen by checking that !d%guess%! is equal to guess. This works becauseif the user guesses 1, d1 should equal 1.



::~ If it has already been chosen, d1 would be a O or a X, so it would not be equal.



::~ 'Goto's the number chosen.

::~ The space of the number chosen on the display grid is changed to the correct letter (X or O) and a number is added to the %x-% grid and the %o-% grid.



::~ These two grids are used to work out whether someone has won, and allows the computer to work out which place to go next.

[3] Save the document and make sure for the name you put .bat,otherwise it won't work

[4] Enjoy your new game!

~Credits go to -Goku71807 - that's the youtube user that created the video on how to do it but im sure someone else created how to do it.\

~Also, where I have "Banzai" you could change it to anything you want it to say like your name! It just adds another level of customization.

As seen on vSauce here.

thanks this worked but a bit stupid

Of course it worked; and it's not stupid, the game it self may be simple but the LOC required is quite a lot. Credit to the maker, lets see you try and make something you perceive to be stupid.
