This was a missed Tic-Tac-Two opportunity
tictactoetwo sounds better

I was like just call it tic tac two ☹️

Lets call it tic tac two
It even has a great name in Spanish too.
The original is "Tres en raya" (Three in a line), so we can call this one "Tes en raya" (Ts in a line). It's perfect
In Polish its "circle and cross"
@@M_1024 that’s just x and o, in dutch it’s “butter cheese and eggs”
En argentina, al menos yo siempre le dije ta te ti. Podria llamarse te te te.
@@matiasgarciacasas558 Bueno, pues por lo menos en España si se llama asi. Cada lugar tendra su propio nombre supongo
Morpion in French
I solved Tick-Oat-Two (it only took me 10 mins, so its not "balanced"). Second player still always wins. Whenever first player places his mark, check if you can win in 1 turn, and if not place yours mirror. If he makes a T, make a mirror T. If he goes center, go center next turn. The hardest part is to figure out where to place your mark the turn he went center. But you should keep everything mirror. Thats the golden rule of this game
I know I’m late to this, but what did you mean by “mirror”?
@@randomjunkohyeah1 yeah, its been more than a year :/ I dont really remember, but i guess in this context it means that if first player goes left down tile, then you go left up tile, if he goes middle up tile, you go middle down tile. And obviously because the board is symmetrical, you can mirror him not horizontally but vertically as well (left up tile - right up tile). So another words, to win, second player needs to keep symmetry
This is actually an AMAZING remake!
There’s one thing wrong with it, the balance still isn’t all too fair; but I’d make it so that you could occupy the other player’s ticks no more than 3 times a game, and when you use up one of those times, you can’t do it for your next turn, and you can never occupy the most recently occupied tick/space. That makes it fair for all, and makes it even fairer!
Yeah, while it makes it less simple, that's a small sacrifice in order for it to be more fair.
This is your first "2" video where instead of laughing hysterically at how ridiculous it is, I'm sitting here thinking, "huh! That totally works and is objectively better and I want to play it now!" Good job, you've revolutionized something FR.

Yeah, for example Chess 2 had some cool concepts but it was overall silly. I'd choose normal Chess all the way
YES
yea
Fr
I think we can all agree that you are objectively right about everything. Every time someone says "Let's decide this by playing tic-tac-toe" I always say no because the game is super unbalanced. This is massive improvement over the original! If you could have a go at making
"Hangman 2", that would be epic!

This man deadass just made an entire game with rules and moves and all using the most simple game. Honestly impressive.

I love how in Brazil we call Tic Tac Toe "the old lady game"
You can call this new game as "the new baby game"
@@guptansh8067 old lady is a single word in portuguese (english has this thing of turning words into adjective + noun) so it would be just baby game
@@RafaelMunizYT damn
@@RafaelMunizYT Actually, we could make it "the young guy game" (jogo do jovem).
what about ''butter, cheese and eggs''
FINALY!!! This is soooooooo helpful! I will definitely be using this.
oat's fixes are actually, without a joke, getting more and more practical! like wow, he actually listed the priorities!
Slight problem, the game is going to devolve into very predictable play. Your goal (essentially) it to just play for as long as possible without forming 3 in a row (because that would allow your opponent to win). So every game will have a setup phase of like four turns of people placing these:
|+|
+| |+
|+|
Then you'd want to individually make something like
|+|+
+| |+
+|+|
Then the game ends pretty much immediately if someone deviates from this strategy. Or, is forced to place another line.
Also, this placement guarantees a win for player 2 after 8 turns unless there's some way to prevent player 2 from playing this strategy (like playing in the places that player needs to go next turn).
@@solsystem1342 just tested it myself a bit and while I found other stable play combinations the player 2 pretty much always wins
@@holesmak I tested it too. It's still more fun than regular Tic Tac Toe, but I had the same results as you. It seems if both players play optimally, Player 2 will always win.
*oats's
@@solsystem1342 There is no such play, 1st player is forced to take at least one of those 6 six in first two moves since middle one is only square that does not contribute to such strategy and they can't go to same place on their 2nd move as player 2 went on their first move. This leaves square that player 1 can't protect as they already went there.
This is an actual improvement. I’m legit going to teach this to my friends and family because it’s so much more superior to the boring game where somehow the cat always wins
i thought i was the only one to call a tie a catsgame
I played it and I feel like the second player always wins?
@@globalincident694 yup. I haven't exhausted every possible gamestate yet but so far in my analysis second player always wins with proper play
yup, second player still has a garanteed win if they wait a turn and then start placing their lines on player 1 lines from a turn ago, player 1 never has more than 2 valid lines in the game and cant win
Bro its a big disadvantage for the one starting
This is the first time Oats fixes something and it actually was good! Great job

I like how he took more time to redesign tic-tac-toe than the United States of America
the TickoaTTwo IS redesigning America its just that revolutionary
glad to see he is following the highest priority.
@@fancydoge5611 truly one of the most important political changes, and an objectively right one too, my apologies
Are you saying you want him to create USA2, aka the United States of Oats?
@@datalich I’m pretty sure he means American didn’t work this hard on the rules of tic-tac-toe when it came to this country
Played a few games with my son and we pretty much concluded that if you and your opponent both understand the game, whoever goes first loses. Lol
That said it's a really cool twist. Definitely makes you think a little harder. Both players are trying not to get 3 of their own lines in a row, pretty much.
Oh i see i just found it out too. If player 2 follows player 1 they mostly win
@@darkkirbygod not mostly....they are the only one who can win...player 1 cant make a T
@@MCJini yeah i see it thats the problem in a game ehich has no luck factor that one player can draw or win everytime with the perfect strategy
Really? I don't think so, play with me? Bottom left
I guess a fix would be to disallow a player from placing their line on a square on which a line has just been placed.
This is so awesome!! I love this so much better!! Thank you!!❤❤❤
I was always stumped with the title like why was it called Tic Tac Toe?? I love the title even better now!!
The fact this is scarily a good idea and makes sense
Oh gosh I just had the worst panic attack and thought the rest of this day would be shit. But when Oats posted, it made me smile. Thank you lots Oats ❤

Because you are objectively right about everything, I will begin to play this with my family immediately.
This is actually good I might play it. Goodjob keep it up.
Coincidentally, I searched online all the variations of the game not long ago! It would be awesome if you somehow made it proper by having a way to play it online against players or something!
I love his creativity and the fact that he puts the sponsor at the end of the video so its not in the middle of the video interrupting the main video

Yes!
2:30 fortunately for me, only 10% of the time end in a tie because as you said, the first player has a huge advantage.
It is always a draw if you play perfectly. There are easy always to memorize the pattern.
Finally Tic-Tac-Toe update. I've been waiting *centuries.*
You should do "Chess *2"* with new pieces, like...
"Fencer":
Can walk forward or to the diagonals that are in front of it
"Musketeer":
Can shoot once to your front line killing a piece that is closest to your front line
you always make my day (when you post) maybe do rock paper scissors next time :)
Rock paper scissors is already perfect tho, doesn't need fixing.
I love how your ideas are so stupid, but somewhat creative and actually creates the idea of a fun game
There's a advantage for player number two still as whichever player connecting their 3 lines first will most likely win and since player 1 starts first player 2 has a higher winning chance but that only matters for player who actually have strategies and know what they're doing
Thank you because you got a great idea
Please keep making this series, i love it!
In having my mind blown here.
I was under the impression that I've never heard of tic-tac-toe until my adult life, and with internet.
I'm now suddenly remembering all the times I've played SOS in my childhood.
How did nobody ever tell me about SOS?
It's like I have repressed all my childhood memories...
This so simple, yet so revolutionary
I once had an idea for a new version of tic tac toe: You play it on a rubik's cube . Each move you can either draw your symbol on an empty place, or turn a section 90 degrees. The goal is to get an entire side filled with your symbol
The idea of turning a rubix cube into two player is... scary. but I think the game would last forever unless you couldn't turn it in a way that would move a square your opponent previously moved
Going to go play this with my family now. Love your videos, I hope you can make more awesome content! :D

I'll keep playing ultimate tic-tac-toe (basically a tic-tac-toe of tic-tac-toes, which is way needs way more strategy, but has the downside of being longer), but I'll try this version some day (and try to solve it, because it looks very solvable)
I’ve been waiting for so long for an update to tic tac toe
Funny he commented about the tic-tac-toe name, because in Brasil we call it "Jogo da Velha" which could be translated as "old women's game" lmao

But it takes too much time to draw
You know its gonna be a good day when oats posts.

Okay, I’m definitely playing this one, this seems really fun. Way to go, man
cannot believe i wasn't already subscribed to this objectively correct about everything guy's channel, been watching since chess 2.
i solved tic tac toe at school, by myself, and it's a draw with best play no matter where you start, and you can use some tricks to take advantage of opponents that don't know the game, and now ill study this other one
This looks really fun!!! Definitely going to play that with my friends!
I tried it not expecting much, but this is an triple-A title! Amazing graphics, amazing gameplay, and great level environments! Not many game devs can say that they’ve made a game that fits all three of those.
Why didn't you say triple t title

This is now a game i will play forever
Honestly, this is actually a really good remake. The design change wasn't really necessary but the functionality was spot on.
This man is so underrated
This person is the greatest game designer I had ever seen
Not that I saw another one, but still.
For the current tic tac toe, during my childhood I looked into it and found that if a player goes first, he must win unless the other player puts a cross in the centre. It really helped/ruined the game😂
Actually you can trap the second player that way. Place your X in a corner, they'll take the center, then place an X in the opposite corner and hope they misplay.
The game you made is actually amazing and competitive.
Thank you for video
Hi oats, I want you to know that you have been a huge inspiration to me and I want to thank you for doing what you do. I actually used this video as inspiration for a project I did for English, we’re I made better English, English 2. I would be happy to share this project with you, if you’d be interested. Thank you again for your video’s they always entertain me so much!
0:33 this is an actual game,there is a another version of this which the board is larger and the are 9 pieces,
2:10 in perfect play Tic Tac Toe is always a draw
This is revolutionary
I actually showed my friend this and we played the game. WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL TICTACTOE. Great work Oats!
Using minimax w/ alpha beta pruning, after about 30-45 seconds of search time(c++ runtime pog) it appears that second player always wins, but the game is definitely complicated enough that there's a decent amount of chance for either side for the casual player.
I'll optimize it more later, but what I really need that would help a lot is some way of "evaluating" the position without calculating who actually wins, like how in chess a crude evaluation would be just who has more material.
A win requires that your opponent makes a 3-in-a-row, then you make the same 3-in-a-row. The winning move must be you playing on top of your opponent's line. If you make a 3-in-a-row of your own lines, then your opponent can win by playing the same 3-in-a-row and you have no way to block them other than winning first.
Conversely, If you avoid making a 3-in-a-row of your own lines, then your opponent can't win. You can delay for up to 6 moves this way with a pattern like this:
XX_
X_X
_XX
Here's a winning strategy for player 2:
Start by playing the four sides. By your next move, player 1 will have made 5 moves.
If they have no corners by move 5, they have a plus-shape in the middle. If you can, play in the middle and win. If the middle was the their last move, play in a corner. There are no 3-in-a-rows of your own lines so player 1 can't win. Then you can now play in the middle and win.
If they have corners by move 5, pick one. Play the opposite of that corner, then play the original corner. You now have the maximally delaying pattern from above, and at least one of your corners is a complete t. Player 1 will have made 7 moves by now, so there are only 2 squares they haven't played and they must have completed a 3-in-a-row somewhere.
If there are empty squares left by move 7, play on one of the empty squares. Then player 1 can't win because they can't complete the t you just played, and your other lines don't contain any 3-in-a-rows. Then complete player 1's 3-in-a-row and win.
If there are no empty squares by move 7, player 1 has the whole diagonal, one of your corners, and 3 more squares. No matter where those last 3 are, there will be two different 3-in-a-rows that you can complete. Only one of them can be blocked by being player 1's last move, so play the other one and win.
yeah it's probably somewhere in between OG tic tac toe and connect 4 in terms of how likely a casual player is to be able to play a perfectly optimal game
Put simply, just play exactly where your opponent plays every move and second player always wins because they are the only one completing the +.
This unironically makes sense. I might actually use this for once
This man is a genius
I again really love this change. Make this man a president
Can't wait for this to go on the OJ website.
Ya know, it’s not the worst sequel I’ve seen, pretty good 😊👍

Every other "making ____ 2" or "making better ______" video I've watched has just been purely ridicilous and funny, but this is actually a really fun and interesting concept.
Dang... I remember when you had less then 1,000 subscribers now you almost have 300K!
I think tick-tact-two would be a cooler name. The tact for "tactics or tactical". Also I think the players should be allowed to extend the board in any direction by one square/section once per game. They can't win with it right away due to needing two marks to get it so it could be used a distraction tactic. Like "look where I'm going to go" and you just don't go there.
