Technically, it is AI. If it can learn, it probably involves some sort of
neural net. It probably weights the different spots based on how you play.
That way, after a little while, it starts picking the spots that will block
your tactics.
Of course, tic-tac-toe has a countable number of states. In fact, someone
could probably write a program for the Newt that would play perfect
tic-tac-toe. It's much more of an achievement if it is actually a form of
AI, rather than just brute force or chance. Also, I would be _very_
impressed if it could play naughts and crosses (tic-tac-toe with an infinite
board and requiring 5 symbols in a row).
What package was this? I would be interested in playing it myself to test
how quickly it learns.
