J
To subsequent j poster: replacing this entry is fine by me. <lang J> Note 'ttt adjudicates or plays'
use: markers ttt characters
characters represent the cell names.
markers is a length 3 character vector of the characters to use for first and second player followed by the opponent's mark. 'XOX' means X plays 1st, O is the other mark, and the first strategy plays 1st. 'XOO' means X plays 1st, O is the other mark, and the second strategy moves first.
The game is set up for the computer as the first strategy (random), and human as second.
A standard use: 'XOX'ttt'abcdefghijkl'

Racket
The program provides standard interface for implementation of any zero–sum game with perfect information such as tick-tack-toe, Nim, the 21 game etc. It is possible to create interactive players (as objects) with different playing strategy (AI-driven, user-driven, random etc.) and let them play with each other through message-sending technique.
The optimal strategy is implemented via lazy minimax algorythm with α-β-pruning and arbitrary depth of the recursion.
The program consists of separate modules:
+ minimax.rkt -- Written in Lazy Racket, implements the general minimax algorythm as | given in Wikipedia. | Knows nothing about games. V + game.rkt -- Written in Lazy Racket, defines general classes for the game and players. | Knows nothing about tick-tack-toe or any other particular game. V + tick-tack.rkt -- Written in Racket, implements the tick-tack-toe game.

With use of memoization it is easy to train automatic players so that they would never loose and play very fast.
REXX
Options:
- allow user to specify any NxN size tic-tac-toe grid
- allow user to specify who plays first (default is the user)
- allow user to specify what markers (symbols) to be used (can use hex pairs)
- a (single) numbered grid is used instead of coördinates for easier marker placement
- allows user to quit (exit) the game at any time
- allows the human player to win (if human goes first) and makes a certain move
