I drew the game, but winning is too hard.

You'll need to set up a position where you get two threats at once, so the computer can only block one of them.

I knew that, but I always had bad luck when I tried to set it up. There might be a fullproof way to win every time, but I can't be bothered to find it just now. My 19th adventure is almost done!

There's a solution that I think it's a bug, 1X1 , 4X1, 3X1, 2X1, the red circle doesn't touch any of the above, but you must do it in the arranged order

This is awesome!
You are a MASTER AT DOING THIS!

Well, I cannot win.

BUT I'll do it! TRUST ME, EMERLAD! I'LL BEAT IT!
Edit: Nevermind, After 5 minutes of playing I notice that I couldn't win.

I don't know what to say, but you definitely would deserve the Master Mechanic Award if only one were to exist here.

I tried to beat the game but I got bored. Sorry, it's a cool mechanism but the game itself is very simple.

So you got bored TRYING to beat it because it's too simple? If it was too simple, you should have been able to beat it fairly quickly.

Cool I gotta try this. Got 10 minutes to try this. Then time to go to sleep for school.

Just finished my first round

But I lost. I can tell I have a really, REALLY bad computer because I was lagging a whole lot

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any threat detectors in the programming.

I just didn't know the names of the columns and rows, here's how it's going to win it easily, row 1 column1, row1, column 4, row1 column 3, row1 column2, the opponents circle marks won't touch these if you made it as the arranged order that I just mentioned.

I mean it's a simple game. Simple doesn't mean easy, it means it's not complicated and simple but hard things get boring after a while.

ab-47: How did you find that?

The solution I found doesn't work anymore.
