Ultimate TicTacToe is a simple game that is similar to TicTacToe, but it is on an 8x8 checker board.
- 2 Players
- 8x8 Grid
When the game starts, Player 1 must place their piece on the edge for their first 2 turns. Player 2 only has to place a tile on the edge for 1 turn. After this, players can play in any space that is not occupied by a piece.
Ultimate TicTacToe has a server. The server has a primitive web interface that can only be accessed by GET requests.
Headers are ignored
The client is very basic, and has a single player mode, two player mode, and an online mode.
You play against a bot
You play against someone else
You play against people over the network
The protocol is simple, see the UTTTNetLib Project under Packets for info.
Every packet has a handler for the Client and Server sides.
<Packet ID: byte> <Data: byte[]>
<Packet ID: byte> <Room ID: uint (4 bytes)> <Data: byte[]>
Packets with (RB) next to them are room-bound packets
C -> S Ping (0x00) <Data: byte[4]>
S -> C Ping (0x00) <Data: byte[4]> server must respond with the same 4 bytes send by client or client will disconnect.
C -> S Get Rooms (0x02)
S -> C Get Rooms (0x02) <Length: int> <Available Rooms: uint[]>
C -> S Join Room (RB) (0x01)
S -> C Join Room (RB) (0x01) <Status: byte>
0 = Failed 1 = Success
C -> S Play Piece (RB) (0x??) <X: byte> <Y: byte>
S -> C Play Piece (RB) (0x??) <State: byte>
0 = Invalid/Not your turn
1 = Success
C -> S GetGameState (RB) (0x??)
S -> C GetGameState (RB) (0x??) <P1: ulong> <P2: ulong> <TurnIndex: byte>
These two ulong's represent the pieces of each player.
Each bit is a piece, the client then converts this into a PieceState[8, 8]
- NONE
- P1
- P2
0xFF<Reason: byte><Length: int><String: byte[Length]>
0 = normal
1 = Player 1 wins
2 = Player 2 wins
