Joshua- Hello, Doctor Falcon. Do you want to play a game? TractionEra- Lets play Global Thermonuclear Warfare Joshua- How about a nice game of Chess instead? TractionEra- Global Thermonuclear Warfare. Joshua- U.S. or U.S.S.R.? TractionEra- U.S.S.R. Joshua- Accepting Codes. A long drawn out War Games senario later... Joshua- Strange game. It seems the only winning move is to not play at all. TractionEra- How about a nice game of Chess? Ware Games is my favorite movie of all time! :)

Correction to my previous comment.  The fourth line should have said "unblocked, open path from sensor to Lego 1x2 light brick".

Also, from a Lego show perspective, it would be neat to see two NXT robots playing against each other on the same board, using bluetooth to synchronize the acivity. But then someone would need to clear the board at the end - or would they, maybe there is a use for those 5*4 trap doors - they could open at the end of play and dump the board. Ah well, back to work.

Originally, this grew out of a contest where we had LEGO robots going head-to-head in Tic-Tac-Toe, with no human intervention (and, since we used RCX's, no BT). It was amazing to watch, actually, even if you knew how every game was going to end. I have an RCX version on YT as well... the main difference being that it resets its own pieces as well.

[ronaldmcrae]

I'm surprised by your comments on the RCX light sensor. Yes it wasn't great but I did get it to distinguish reliably between four colors (RED/WHITE/BLACK/MIRROR TILE) as well as a fifth option "unblocked open to light sensor". This was the arrangement for my RCX Slot Machines at Brickworld 2007 (search you tube). Isn't that enough colors for TIC-TAC-TOE? Of course now once using NXT there is no going back. Everything becomes so much simpler. Watch this space for the Brickworld 2008 models!

The robot could have win at 48 second if it put the piece the opposite side. My robot will not make this mistake :P

[Coastergeekperson04]

What fun is it if you can't win every once in a while :p

[dorriecs116]

I am amazed that there is someone else in the world with the same last name is Bonahoom....

[h2h2h2h2]

I wonder if anyone here is old enough to know the "W.O.P.R." reference is. ;)

[Baltan]

A strange game, the only winning move is not to play =D

[h2h2h2h2]

Do you want to play a game?

c:>Global Thermal Nucular War

;)

[DrLsw]

thats cool! you should change the code though so its impossible to beat or so it wins at random times. it all depends on who goes first though, if you go second its harder to win

[sssssssnakeysimon]

Hey, where can I d/l the program for this? lol

[bigshitgreat]

wow this is really cool :D you made a friend to play with

you :D

we are learning this programing in school :D

but we are just programing microprocesors 8051 :D:D

[anusballe]

cool

the check game is simple with the chips from a electronic lego set so i reprogramed it with the chips attached,then i made so it scaned the board with a light scanner and the ultrasonic sensor so that it could tell peices apart,then all i did was made so instead of moving on computer screen it was on the board

[KillingRobotManiacs]

dude u can do way more with that. in fact i figured out how to make it scan a chess board and a tic-tac-toe. in fact i made it 3d tic-tac-toe. for a legos that is

[kkDonut]

how about a nice game of chess?

[matthewgutz]

what... that robot could have won already...

[666Shadows666]

awesome

[peterwilson69]

When it was a tie, the robot should've tipped over the board and spilled all the peices! ha ha.

[Bluelightning135]

Thats Awesome!

[Zut50]

Amazing!

[thebravery54]

dude

thats wicked
