Hello all.

I was having some trouble understanding basic things about XOTcl. I found an old TicTacToe program written in OTcl (by Gustaf?) and translated it so it would run on Tk rather than Mofe.

no, the program was implemented by Ralf Goertzen, who was teaching assistent in my former department in Essen. The only piece of code of this example is the pseudo-random number generator....

It's self-contained, involves several cooperating objects, and has a simple domain. Maybe some other beginner would find going through it useful.

I have attached the script to this mail message.

What you did is a very straightforward translation from OTcl to XOTcl and does therefore not use any new functionality of xotcl. One example are the names of the objects. In OTcl, all object names have to be global, XOTcl supports aggregation. I would recommend to create the engine, the gameport, etc. into the game object. This will make it possible to create e.g. 2 instances of the game, without interfering with each other, or this will allow you to remove a game instance with everything that belongs to it by a single command...
