Here is my MSX BASIC entry: http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/2016-basic-tenliners-conte...

And it was my first MSX program ever!

Can you copy/paste your entry here as well? I couldn't find a way to see the complete listing.

@paulo: Nice one! Good to see MSX represented in this competition, congratulations on sending in the first entry and writing your first ever MSX program.

@meits: The code is there, you can select & copy/paste it, it's just running off-screen a bit without showing scrollbars.

As for representing MSX in the competition, maybe we should wake up Nyyrikki and dvik to make Rally-X II.

Maybe I'll have to try another browser then, since this is what I get:

I've got problems trying to extract the basic program from the DSK image. Can you guys tell me how to do that?

Since I couldn't I captured the image and OCR'd it, fixing the typos

I will add the DSK file as soon as possible on my post as well.

Thanks!

Here is the link for the DSK file:

http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/files/msx/msx/games/typehe...

I tested it using http://webmsx.org/ and it works there. For some reason, it failed to load with some machine profiles on CocoaMsx emulator (it works with Gradient_Expert_DD).

Cheers

Usage
The Classic TicTacToe game. The target is to get a three in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal)
After the start, the player is asked who is playing 'X'
Input 0 for player self, 1 selects MSX. In the last case the MSX is playing against itself.
The player for O is defaulted to MSX.

When it is the players turn, a number in the range 1-9 must be selected, if a cell is selected which already contains a 'X' or 'O' a BEEP is given.
This is also the case when it is the turn of the computer.
S is for stopping the game. This is repeated until there is a winner or all the fields contain a 'X' or 'O'.

Breakdown of the program
Line 1 - 3
Initialize the variables and define some helper functions for the tests if there is a three on a row.
The array P in line 3 defines the player, P(0)=1 means that for the 'X' the MSX is the player, this value gets altered in line 5.
By changing the value for P(1)=1 to 0, it possible use this program as a two player game.

Line 4
Initialize the randomizer, fill the playfield and start the actual gameloop.

Line 5 - 6
If the first loop is started (GL=0) then the program asks who is playing X and sets P(0) defined in line 3.
In the case of the computer is playing a random value (no AI) is selected, or in case of the player the input is checked for valid values.

Line 7
The current player is set, and the playfield is printed to the screen.

Line 8
Test if there is a three in a row after the turn is played and printed. If there is winner he is called, or else the player for the next turn is shown.

Line 9
If the GL>9 and there is no winner, then it must be a draw.

Line 10
Ask the player for another game, if answered Y then the game starts over again

I send my game "Tetris 10" a remake of tetris in only 10 MSX BASIC lines.

Can download from my site: http://www.kotai.es/texto.php?P=154

My Tetris 10 finish 4º in EXTREM-256 category (6º for all categories) and 1º MSX game.
Probably I will create a second version of Tetris 10 for two players in only 10 lines, and more fast with X-Basic compiler.
