Rudimentary machine learning tic-tac-toe

How it works

If you're wondering, "phÿnd" is supposed to be pronounced like "fiend".

phÿnd is a machine-learning (in the loosest sense of the term) application that plays tic-tac-toe. phÿnd knows nothing about the game in terms of strategy; it only knows which moves it has made and whether that move led to a loss. phÿnd initially chooses a spot to place its cross at random, leading to some embarassing losses. However, as phÿnd loses, it becomes progressively less likely to make those same decisions that led to a loss. It's a very inefficient system as a whole but I think it's still a good bit of fun in the end.

This is the second version of this application, this time built on .NET Core and Razor Components. The original version was build on Python and Bottle for a class at school.
