Well, I tried it out and it was cool. Hallelujah!! I am extremely flattered to have inspired you. >So I decided to write my own hack. I present: WebTicTacToe. Not to belittle your own work, but there already is a tic tac toe somwhere on the the Web. Sorry I don't know the URL. I want to write a Web chess game. I had written the basic chess algorithms but lost them somehow, even though I had the code on three different systems. D'oh! > The URL is http://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~dilatush/ttt.d I will definitely check it out. ObHack: The recent talk about xyzzy reminded me of when we first got ADVENT on our old PDP-11. I'm guessing it was about 1977. Just about everyone in the office was obsessed with it. Well, I hacked the thing up in a major way. I could tell where every player was, send them any message, transport them anywhere, etc. Cool fun for a co-op student. (Hi Bob, if you're reading this.) - steve belczyk
