Description
This project is an analysis through Zermelo’s Algorithm and other Game Theory techniques of a variant of Tic-tac-toe created by Dr. Jeremiah P. Farrell. The objective was to map, via the game tree, every possible move in Colorful Tic-tac-toe, assuming rational play. Mathematically prove that the first player has a strategy to win always.
