t3C and t3

t3C and t3 are Bash script (see Wikipedia:Bash_(Unix_shell) for more info) implementations of the usual Tic-Tac-Toe (or Noughts-and-Crosses) paper-and-pencil game.

t3C is for x-terminals that support color while t3 is for x-terminals that don’t support color. Both bash scripts are two-player implementations of tic-tac-toe.

To play: at the command line, within the directory containing the script, issue the command:

bash t3C

(or simply t3C if the this script is on your path of executables, i.e., if echo $PATH shows a list of directories that includes the directory containing the bash script t3C. To make sure, you can copy these two bash scripts to your $HOME/.local/bin directory then add the .local/bin directory to your PATH, e.g., at the command line PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin/).

A screenshot (partly edited) of a t3C tic-tac-toe game session is given below.
