Battle Game - The computer thinks!

Recently I built a game and named 'Battle' as a consequence of my studies in the field of artificial intelligence. As a first step, I built a mathematical model instead of more flexible neural network model. The work on neural model is on the way and the work is very slow. The mathematical model also not much efficient but I took care to make the program 'act' as intelligent (I know intelligence is needed to act!). Rarely the program may crash. I not interested to make this game for commercial use and I am givin it under GPL. The program is not much pretty both in efficiency and it's intelligence. Since I am not a proffessional programmer, the rules for a good program may not be satisfied. I compiled it in C++, but the entire structure is like C.
The game is like ordinary 'Tic Tac Toe'. but has a little difference that maximum number of players is limited to 3 and If you placed your all three players, you can move them to adjacent places to align the players in a line. For the simplicity of learning the game I have put a video of how to play the game.



I have built a Qt (which is cross platform) GUI for my game for beginners but have put also the CUI mode game for code diggers. Even though this game is not intended for entertainment surely it provide some entertainment if you read the code. I need you comments to speed up the development of neural model of the game. I did all the work in win32 platform and linux users also can compile the code because, Qt is cross platform. But you need to install Qt on your distro.
Here's the download links:

Hackthissite.org A hacker's university!

Hackthissite.org seems like a hacker's university. This website provides a good stuffs useful for hackers (crackers also). The hackers community is really powerful and active. Only you have to do is facing different types of hacking problems and find a quick and easy way to solve it. If you are a perl programmer or a javascript hacker, it is a plus. Innovative php users get the points more. A deep knowledge in html is not needed. Above all, the most important thing is your common sense. The problem phase is broadly classified in to:

• Basic missions
• Realistic missions
• Application missions
• Programming missions
• Extbasic missions
• Javascript missions
• Stego missions
• Irc missions

personally I felt basic and javascript is good for beginners, but advanced problems like programming missions are needed to eat more points. Earning points is not for just earning points, but it will give you some reputation. You are ranked by your points:

Pentitioner-0 Points
Script Kiddie-700 points
Apprentice-1700 points
Wiseman-3200 points
Master-5400 points
Hacker-7000 points
Elite-8400 points
Sage-10000 points

W3schools help you a lot in learning web programming. Navigate to hackthissite.org and show who you are.

Bhuvan, still have a lot of void

ISRO(Indian Space Research Organization), launched Bhuvan , a Google earth for India (But more than Google earth) after the successful launching of Chandrayan-1. In the first sight, it is like Google earth, but tons of information is there and covering almost all over India. Bhuvan is a strong rival for Google earth, and seems better view than Google earth and have some good features, and is more informative. Currently, Bhuvan works only on Win32 platform. You need a program (about 15MB) and a need a good broad band internet. Bhuvan works fairly well in my system with 2GB RAM. All you need to play with Bhuvan is included in their website.
Bhuvan has enough tools to find exact area, length and other terrestrial info. Bhuvan works well even though you have low bandwidth network because it is designed such a way that it covers almost Indians. I personally don't know Bhuvan supports current GPS systems.
