Devlog #2 — PROTOCOL INITIATED: TIC TAC ATOMIC IS LIVE

Status: Network engaged
Condition: Pattern match initialized

Today we broadcast the first sequence in MAP Protocol Training: Tic Tac Atomic.

On the surface?
It’s a retro-core tactical grid game.
Underneath that surface?
An interface for neural maneuver rehearsal and symbolic prediction via feedback loop.

Choose your mode. Logical or creative.
Face off against a neural opponent or challenge another operator directly.
Or enter the arena—where pattern awareness is your only ally.

Each move generates a sequence.
Each sequence reveals a trajectory.
Each trajectory maps a question:

"What kind of machine recognizes a pattern?"

What You’ll See

• Glowing CRT interface with scanline haze and neon pulse

• Tactical overlays that recall early digital war games

• A clean, brutalist UI hiding deeper strategic analysis

• Victory streaks that scale across AI difficulty tiers

• Instant feedback via Tactical Sequence logging and strategy tips

What You’ll Notice

• "Creative" mode doesn’t mean random—it means interpretive

• Winning isn’t always about control—it’s about prediction

• Arena escalation is built for failure—and reflection

• The AI learns nothing, but you might

This is not about winning the game.
It’s about seeing the pattern in the game you’re playing.

So deploy. Reset the matrix. Begin the loop.
And if you lose, consider:

"Was it you that moved first... or the pattern?"
