About This Project
Overview
A browser Tic Tac Toe game where the opponent's moves are generated by the Gemini API instead of a hardcoded minimax table — a small experiment in swapping classic game AI for an LLM-driven one.
Motivation
Tic Tac Toe already has a solved-game AI in minimax, so I wanted to see what happens when you swap that out for an LLM opponent instead — a small experiment in AI reasoning versus classical game theory.
Lessons Learned
An LLM-driven opponent is a genuinely different kind of 'AI' than minimax — it's more exploitable in some ways and surprisingly resilient in others, which made for a more interesting comparison than I expected going in.
