Sida loo ciyaaro tic-tac-toe
Context:Ma jiro xeer guud oo la isku raacsan yahay oo ku saabsan qofka marka hore ciyaaraya, laakiin qodobkan waxaa loo isticmaalay xeerka ah in X uu marka hore ciyaaro.  Ciyaartoyda ayaa dhawaan ogaanaya in ciyaarta ugu fiican ee labada dhinac ay keento barbaro. Sidaa daraadeed, ciyaarta loo yaqaano tic-tac-toe waxaa badanaa ciyaara caruurta yar yar oo laga yaabo inaysan helin istaraatiijiyadda ugu fiican.  Sababtoo ah sida ay u fududahay tic-tac-toe, waxaa badanaa loo isticmaalaa sidii qalab waxbarasho oo loogu talagalay barashada fikradaha isboortiga wanaagsan iyo laanta sirdoonka macmalka ah ee ka shaqeysa raadinta geedaha ciyaarta. Waa wax sahlan in la qoro barnaamij kombuyuutar ah oo si fiican u ciyaara tic-tac-toe ama in la tiriyo 765 meelood oo kala duwan (dhibcaha adag ee gobolka) ama 26,830 ciyaaro suurtagal ah illaa wareegyada iyo dib u eegista (dhibcaha geedka ciyaarta) ee meelahaas. Haddii labada ciyaaryahan ay si fiican u ciyaaraan, ciyaarta marwalba waxay ku dhamaataa barbaro, taasoo ka dhigaysa tic-tac-toe ciyaar aan faa'iido lahayn.
Tic-tac-toe waxaa lagu ciyaaraa shabakad saddex-by-saddex ah laba ciyaartoy, kuwaas oo si kala duwan u dhiga calaamadaha X iyo O mid ka mid ah sagaalka meelood ee shabakadda. Tic-tac-toe (American English), noughts and crosses (Commonwealth English), ama Xs iyo Os (Canadian ama Irish English) waa ciyaar warqad iyo qalin loogu talagalay laba ciyaartoy oo isbeddela si ay u calaamadeeyaan meelaha saddex-saddex-saddex ah oo leh X ama O. Ciyaaryahanka ku guuleysta inuu saddex ka mid ah calaamadaha saaro saf jiif ah, toosan, ama iskutallaab ayaa guuleysta. Waa ciyaar la xaliyay, oo leh barbaro qasab ah iyadoo la tixgelinayo ciyaarta ugu fiican ee labada ciyaartoy.
