Also, I would like to make this game in browser and set up because that is pretty much how it is right now anyways and I rather not have people be confused so if you could tell me how or give me a link with it done, that would be great.

I suggest using Dropbox ( http://dropbox.com ). Place the jar and the HTML file in your Public folder, click on the HTML file and select Copy Public Link, and distribute that. Just to make sure that'd work, I uploaded it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5227720/Anti-Tac-Tic.html
Feel free to use that as your link if you don't want to bother with dropbox, it shouldn't go anywhere.

I really like the game design! I've often wondered to myself, how do you fix tic-tac-toe? I'm not sure this is necessarily fixed (I think the player who goes first always wins, in optimal gameplay) but it's definitely better. Unfortunately, the AI is really easy to beat, but that's a problem that more time would solve I suspect.

Thanks so much thristhart, oh and by the way, I need to play your game! :D

This is a neat idea. It is, in fact, more interesting than tic-tac-toe (at least when you go above 3X3). I might use it as a paper game at some point.

Simple game, but pretty interesting concept.

The basic idea is there and it's pretty fun, I enjoyed it but it could use some sound and polishing to make it a bit harder. Really great though!

This is a pretty interesting variation of tic-tac-toe. It has the same kind of simplicity as the normal game, so it was neat figuring out the winning strategy all over again. The AI doesn't quite seem to have it down, which makes it harder to analyze but is probably a good thing, because it looks pretty easy to force a win.

I liked it. Good use of theme.

cool concept. Fits the theme really well. We had a lot of fun playing hotseat!

Ha, I love it! 3x3 seems pretty pointless to me, but the 5x5 is pretty fun, and nice job with the AI :)

Hmmm...definitely is harder than normal tic tac toe. Don't know whether there is a "perfect game"

clever game idea

Nice game! I like the concept :)

It was fun variation of Tic tac toe. One I got a hang on it the AI was easy to defeat.
For my game. What version of java you have? I think you need atleast Java 7 to play my game.

Great concept and great AI!

Nice little game, fun and very simple but unique twist on the game. Great AI and game logic

This is a cool concept, I dig! I wish there was a soundtrack though, either something silly or something really intense.

What a fun little game, definitely unique!

This is a lot more fun than the original, haha. Great job, especially for your first dare! (:

A fellow tic-tac-toe variant maker! Good idea and well executed

Very neat idea!

Good idea. Congratz!

This is a very fun game. Some nice music/sounds would have been nice.

Cool take on an old classic! The AI seemed pretty competent, good job!

That was really interesting to play, really nice reversal of tic tac toe or naught's and crosses. Had a lot of fun, was surprised how much fun I had actually. Really nice job.

surprisingly difficult, nice concept

unfortunately, it will not run on my machine (Linux with Fedora 16, Java 6)

I tried the Web and Download versions on FF and Chrome. It says "applet started" but all I get is a grey box...

Great in concept, but poor in practice. Has the same problems as Tic-Tac-Toe. Definitely have great respect for trying a new idea, however.

Nice variation on a simple game!

It's a cool idea. The AI was a bit too easy though, as I was able to defeat the enemy every time by looking ahead only a turn or two.
