Abstract: In this paper, artificial neural networks are used as function evaluators in order to evolve game playing strategies for the game of tic-tac-toe. The best evolved player is tested against an online perfect tic-tac-toe player, and also against a nearly perfect player which allows 10% random moves and finally against five selected human players. Those players are with different playing abilities. The results are promising, suggesting many other research directions.

Keywords: artificial neural networks; ANNs; tic-tac-toe; evolutionary algorithms; function evaluators.
