This is a puzzle type game. It was developed using Visual Studio.net and runs on a Windows personal computer. It is commonly known as tic tac toe, but has multiple options for the board size and the types of players, human or computer. The game has an electric circuit mother board design as the background. A USB cable and a DVD drive are the symbols to be filled in the squares. It has two options to choose regarding how a player wants to play the game. The two options presented to the player are “VS Player” and “VS Computer”. There are different levels available to play. The basic level is very easy which is 3*3, In 3*3 there are total of 3 squares horizontally in 3 rows and 3 squares vertically in 3 columns. In the same way, there are 4*4(4 squares horizontally in 4 rows of 4 squares vertically in 4 columns also 5*5, 6*6 and 7*7 levels. If the first option is selected i.e., “VS Player” then two players would be playing the game. The next step would be choosing the level of the game among 5 levels from the sizes (3*3 etc). Next arrange their pawns in a row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. If they fail to arrange in a row then the game is declared as “draw”. If a single person is playing the game then the player can choose second option i.e., “VS Computer”. So, the second player would be a computer. As the player makes a move, the computer makes another move and blocks the player’s pawn from forming a row. When a player is finally able to complete a row of similar pawns they are declared as “winner”. Finally, this is all about arranging similar pawns and forming a row with them horizontally, vertically or diagonally. This game may increase thinking ability and concentration.
