Tic Tac Toe with PHP-GTK2
Finally it’s here 
The game you have been waiting for…
Since I haven’t tried PHP-GTK2 before and it’s currently in alpha stage, I wanted to see how easy I can take a simple GTK application written in another language and port it to PHP-GTK2. I ended up porting this Ruby/Gtk example written by Daniel Lichtenberger which have some logic, dialogs, events and some graphics.
Most of the code was pretty straight forward and directly ported. I had to heavily use the PHP-GTK2 Manual in addition to check/verify my assumptions with the source code of the PHP-GTK2 extension a few times. I had most problems with porting the graphics, but ended ut by simply using the GtkImage on a GtkButton instead of using GdkPixmap’s. I think I used about 10 hours on this experiment.
The source code is available here (GPL). If you have installed PHP-GTK2, simply run the game with:
$ php tictactoe.phpw
I’ve tested it with PHP 5.1.4 and the current PHP-GTK2 alpha release. Since this is a really simple application I probably won’t use many calories to improve it. But if you have some free time, try it!
Have fun!

Nice application Knut. I am glad that you didn’t find PHP-GTK 2 that hard to work with. You might also want to check out the game page at Gnope.org.

Yep!
This sounds great! But the Decription / Haccking could be a problem.
Obfuscating your code using a program like Code LocK could realy make the difference.
But yes. Really nice.
Once I eard about PHPDock by NuShere.
It should be an alternative to GTK. And again using Code Lock, even the Cheapest V1 ( http://tinyurl.com/ylfh4m ) could make the deal!
Nice.

Hi,
it looks great. Seems that GTK2 becomes a very good tool to develop Desktop-Apps. Maybe somebody should programm a WordPress-GTK application to manage your Weblog(s) from the Desktop without hazzle
