Chris!

I thought a game about warring letters would be fun. I attempted it a few times but nothing ever came out correctly. Sure, they worked, but it didn't seem FUN. So this is my third attempt at a game like this. I thought since it's a war between X and O that I should put in a Tic-Tac-Toe minigame in it. To access the minigame, press o on the keyboard during the title screens. A blank board should come up. Left controller controls X (and always goes first), and right controls O. If X wins the grid turns green and if O wins the grid turns blue. In case of a tie, the grid turns red. At the end of the game, you can press o on the keyboard to start another game. If Tic-tac-toe has already been done for the Odyssey2, oh well, I spent days working on it.

Tic-Tac-Toe hasn't really been done yet, AFAIK.  There is Noughts and Crosses, which differs in that you only get three of each character, so for your fourth move (and beyond) you have to pick one up and move it.

I noticed the bug from the first one, but it looks like you fixed it with the latest version.  I had the game completely freeze once, but I couldn't reproduce it.
Does anyone read these signatures?  Let me know in your signature.

Did the game freeze in the latest version?

Yes, it did. I have a new version which I tried. Let me know. Take a screencap if you can. (Prt Scr button on the keyboard and then open Paint and then Copy it in there.)

It looks like you solved the freeze. Nice work.

One time I had a game restart without pressing the letter o on the keyboard. I don't know why.
