xkcd’s Optimal Tic-Tac-Toe Maps
Here’s a great idea from the mind of xkcd, a hierarchical map of Tic-Tac-Toe moves. With differing maps for X and O, simply pick the map that corresponds to your side and follow the directions. It takes a minute to get the hang of it, but it’s a great layout for a timeless classic. The maps are made assuming X goes first. Simply put your symbol in the largest red position of the position corresponding to where your opponent put their mark. For example, X starts with the upper left, while O needs to first find the section of the board where X put their mark and follow the map correspondingly.

xkcd’s Movie Narrative Charts
Another great visualization creation from xkcd, this time showing “Movie Narratives” for Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (Original Trilogy), Jurassic Park, 12 angry men, and Primer. Of course the last few are mainly a joke, but the Lord of the Rings & Star Wars ones really are impressive, showing locations, battles, how the character’s parties formed and dispersed throughout the story.
