A modern, web-based implementation of Ultimate Tic Tac Toe featuring a World Cup tournament engine, real-time WebRTC multiplayer, dynamic power-up decks, and slot allocation via an interactive wheel.
- 1v1 Local Hotseat: Two players take turns on the same screen.
- 1v1 Online Link (WebRTC): Direct peer-to-peer room connections generated via link sharing without backend server dependencies.
- 1v1 vs. AI Engine: Single-player challenge powered by an adaptive minimax decision engine.
- 2v2 Tag Team (4P): Four players paired in teams, rotating turns dynamically within active sub-boards.
- Tournament Bracket: A 16-player knockout tournament system featuring country slot assignments and queue enforcement.
Win 3 adjacent sub-boards in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) to capture the overall main board.
Your move dictates where your opponent must play next. For example, placing a token in cell #5 of any sub-board forces your opponent to make their next move inside Sub-Board #5.
| Power-Up | Icon | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Bomb | 💣 | Destroys any unshielded opponent token in the active sub-board. |
| Freeze | ❄️ | Locks the target sub-board, preventing moves for 1 turn. |
| Wild | 🌀 | Grants freedom to place a mark in ANY open sub-board. |
| Shield | 🛡️ | Places a token that is completely protected against bomb attacks. |
In Tournament Mode, slot distribution is handled via an interactive country selector:
- Players open the Slot Wheel interface.
- Spin the wheel to get assigned an open country or slot (e.g., Belgium, Brazil, Japan).
- The assigned slot is locked to prevent double-spinning, and the match bracket updates automatically.
Since this game is built as a self-contained single-page web application, no heavy installation or npm install is required!
