Review
I played this game in the hopes that I would be better at understanding tic-tac-toe than the author's chess-based offerings.
Reading other reviews I see there is more than meets the eye... unfortunately I am still bad at this sort of thing, but I understand the concept, which is definitely interesting. After cheating with the walkthrough for the first move, I managed to solve it.
The interface is simple enough and workable but I would have preferred color for the Xs and Os on the grid. I'm glad to hear that the author plans to add that in an updated version.
I originally found a game-crashing bug that was fixed early in the competition, but it seems that I had an old copy of the game, and that the error was fixed early during the competition.

Thanks for letting me know about the technical issues! Can you give an example or text snippet of the error shown? I'd love to fit in a try/except for the post-comp release!
I don't think it should be too confusing for you once you figure out fully what to do, and once you do, it should go quickly. I mean, writing Cygnet Committee required a lot of good big-picture and small-picture thinking.
It's funny you should mention colors in the grid. That was one of the first features I targeted for the post-comp release. The main problem was making sure it worked in Python 2 as well as 3 ... as well as not having the colors bleed over into the text! Now that you mentioned it, I'm that much more motivated to get the post-comp release out quickly.
