How to Play
Tic Tac Toe is the classic two-player game played on a 3×3 grid. Players take turns marking X or O in empty squares, with the goal of placing three of your marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row.
The game is simple to learn but offers surprising strategic depth. The first player (X) has a slight advantage, but with perfect play from both sides, every game ends in a draw. The key is to create "forks" - positions where you have two ways to win on your next turn.
This version includes an AI opponent with adjustable difficulty and support for local two-player games. It's perfect for quick matches and teaching basic game strategy to children.
