Snow Col Tic Tac Toe

Snow Col Tic Tac Toe is a Macintosh implementation of the classic three-in-a-row game, produced as a class project for Computer Science 112 at Snow College in Utah and posted to Info-Mac in June 1995 by instructor's contact Mark Gardner (gard9525@badger.snow.edu).

Origin

The program is one of several class projects from CS 112 at Snow College, taught by instructor Russell Baird (russellb@cc.snow.edu). It was uploaded as part of a small batch of student work showcasing introductory Macintosh programming.

Gameplay

The game implements standard 3x3 tic-tac-toe on the Macintosh desktop, providing a simple two-player or human-versus-computer board for the familiar Xs-and-Os contest.

Educational Context

As a coursework submission rather than a commercial release, the program reflects what an introductory computer-science student in 1995 could build for the Macintosh: a compact, focused, single-purpose application.

Distribution

The archive was posted to Info-Mac on 7 June 1995 and lives in the board-games subdirectory of the Info-Mac game collection alongside numerous other tic-tac-toe variants of the era.
