About Tic Tac Toe

Tic Tac Toe is two things: an offline tic tac toe game for Android, and a free browser version of that same game on this website. This page explains what each one is and how they relate.

What Tic Tac Toe is

Tic Tac Toe is a tic tac toe (noughts and crosses) game published for Android under the package name com.shahbaz.tictactoe. It offers two game modes — a single-player match against a computer opponent with three difficulty levels, and a local two-player mode on one device. It runs entirely offline, contains no advertising, and requires no account.

This website is the game's home. It also hosts a free browser version at /play/, which anyone can use without installing anything.

The mobile game and the browser game

These are two separate products that share their core. The table below is the clearest way to describe the relationship.

How the Android app and the browser game compare
  Android app Browser game
Rules engine Same code Same code
Computer opponent Easy, Medium, Hard Easy, Medium, Hard
Two-player mode Yes Yes
Works with no connection Yes, entirely Needs the page to load first
Sound Yes Yes
Vibration / haptics Yes Only where the browser supports it
Score Counted for the current session Saved in your browser
Installation From Google Play None

Why the opponent is shared code

The game rules and the computer opponent in the Android app are written in plain TypeScript with no dependency on the mobile framework around them. That made it possible to use those exact files in the browser version rather than re-implementing them.

The practical result: the Hard opponent you draw against on this website is the same Hard opponent on your phone, move for move. It is not a lighter web approximation.

What it deliberately leaves out

Tic Tac Toe has no achievements, no lifetime statistics, no online multiplayer, no accounts and no in-app purchases. That is a design decision, not a roadmap — the game is meant to open instantly, play a round, and get out of the way. The features page lists both what is included and what is not.

Publisher

Tic Tac Toe is published by Tic Tac Toe, under the Google Play developer account Syed Shahbaz Hussain. The current release is version 1.0.0.
