About Tic-Tac-Toe Bot

This bot allows you to play tic-tac-toe in a private message with the bot. Multiple games can simultaneously be played by different users, each playing against the computer.

The bot only responds to messages starting with @mention of the bot(botname).

Commands

@mention-botname new will start a new game (but not if you are already playing a game.) You must type this first to start playing!

@mention-botname help will return a help function with valid commands and coordinates.

@mention-botname quit will quit from the current game.

@mention-botname will make a move at the entered coordinate. For example, @mention-botname 1,1 . After this, the bot will make its move, or declare the game over if the user or bot has won.

Coordinates are entered in a (row, column) format. Numbering is from top to bottom and left to right. Here are the coordinates of each position. When entering coordinates, parentheses and spaces are optional.

(1, 1) | (1, 2) | (1, 3)

(2, 1) | (2, 2) | (2, 3)

(3, 1) | (3, 2) | (3, 3)

Invalid commands will result in an "I don't understand" response from the bot, with a suggestion to type @mention-botname help .
