Generalization of 3x3 tic toe tac game

I want to generalize a 3x3 tic toe tac game to a 3x3x3 tic toe tac game(it has 27 boxes in total).Can someone tell me how should i begin or what commands should i use?

a 3x3 tic toe tac game code is given here (which come from my teacher) function game_start2 %GAME_START2 Summary of this function goes here % Detailed explanation goes here close all clc S.fh = figure('units','pixels',... 'position',[50 40 1024 768],... 'menubar','none',... 'name','gui',... 'numbertitle','off',... 'resize','off'); S.pb = uicontrol('style','push',... 'units','pix',... 'position',[10 55 180 40],...

Thank toy very much!!

taitai - rather than posting all of the code in the question, why not just attach it using the paperclip button? I would think the first step in putting together a 3x3x3 tic-tac-toe game is to define the rules/logic. Have you written this logic out in the form of pseudo code?

[Alice Yuen]

The hints provided in that homework guidelines plus F1 in matlab are sufficient lah. This 3x3x3 shares the exactly same structure with the code of that 3x3 version. and the functions themselves are as well quite similar, except for the function visualization3, you have to rewrite it. 利申：spent ten hours in matlab yesterday and I have nearly k.o. it. :o)

Answer 1

[taitai ho]

Thanks for your answer ,Alice.I am keep trying T.T.By the way,what do u mean F1?

[Alice Yuen]

F1 help XD Or http://www.mathworks.com/help/ Endless searching, looking up the hints given, and trial and error lol But first try plotting out the .mat file given lol then you should have a clue lah lol

[taitai ho]

okay.Thank you. I am trying.Hope you get a perfect mark in this assignment. :)
