Tic-Tac-Toe Game

Overview

This is a Tic-Tac-Toe game developed as my first project in my first year of Computer Science Engineering at Chitkara University. It’s a simple two-player game that lets players take turns to play as 'X' or 'O'. The game checks for a winner after every turn and displays the current state of the game board.

Features

• Two-player gameplay: Players take turns to play as 'X' or 'O'.
• Dynamic Board Display: The game board is displayed after every move, showing the updated status.
• Winner Detection: The game checks for winning combinations after every move and announces the winner.
• Simple Input/Output: Players input their chosen position on the board by entering a number corresponding to the cell (0-8).

Game Flow

1. Players are alternately prompted to enter a position (from 0 to 8) to place their mark ('X' or 'O') on the board.
2. The game board is displayed after each move.
3. The program checks for a winning combination after each move.
4. The game ends when either 'X' or 'O' wins, or the board is full.

How to Play

• The game board is represented by a 3x3 grid, numbered from 0 to 8 as shown below:

  0 | 1 | 2
  --|---|---
  3 | 4 | 5
  --|---|---
  6 | 7 | 8
  

• Players enter the number corresponding to the cell where they want to place their mark.

• The game alternates between players with 'X' going first.

• The game will announce when a player wins or if the game ends in a draw.
