David,

        I do still have it around! But not the source code.. :-( I can email you
a copy if you want. The AI is not perfect though - sometimes X will win..

        The game would run in zero players just like in the movie - Showing an
enitre game being played before starting a new one. It also kept track of
which side won or if there was a draw.

P.S. Oh, and I used FastGraph for the graphics... ;)
