*    This program plays a rudimentary game of TIC-TAC-TOE.
*
*    Although the strategy is not elaborate, it illustrates
*    how pattern matching can be used to analyse board positions.
*
*    The board is represented by a nine-character string.  Each string
*    position may contain an "X" (player), "O" (program), or "." (vacant).
*
*    The correspondence between character position and the board is:
*
*        0 | 1 | 2
*        ---------
*        3 | 4 | 5
*        ---------
*        6 | 7 | 8

*    Columns start at character positions 0, 1, and 2:
    C    =    TAB(0) | TAB(1) | TAB(2)

*    Rows start at character positions 0, 3, and 6:
    R    =    TAB(0) | TAB(3) | TAB(6)

*    Assign scanner position to M, then see if the next square is free:
    F    =    @M "."

*    Pattern to take a vacant square at position M:
    P    =    POS(*M) "."

*    Pattern to determine if the center square is free.  Set M = 4 if so.
    CENTER    =    TAB(4) F

*    Pattern to see if any corner is free, set M = corner if so.
    CORNER    =    (TAB(0) | TAB(2) | TAB(6) | TAB(8)) F

*    SNOBOL4 can win if there are two O's and a free square in a line:
    WIN    =    TWO("O")

*    SNOBOL4 must block user if two X's and a free square in a line:
    BLOCK    =    TWO("X")

*    SNOBOL4 loses if row, column, or diagonal of 3 X's:
    LOSE    =    ROW("X","X","X") | COL("X","X","X") |
+            DIAG("X","X","X")

*    Block if necessary, else seize corner, else any take first free square:
    PLAY    =    BLOCK | CORNER | F
