Tic Tac Toe Game

A simple and interactive Tic Tac Toe game built with Python from scratch.

This was my first major project while learning Python. I built it without using AI tools (no Copilot) to strengthen my fundamentals.

Features

• Clean and nice-looking game board
• Player can choose to play as X or O
• Input validation (prevents invalid moves and non-numeric input)
• Proper win detection (rows, columns, and diagonals)
• Automatic player switching
• Announces the winner when the game ends

##UPDATE ON V2 -i have added computer opponent to play against and trust me, you will have a hard time against it.

How to Play

1. Run the game using:

   python game.py
   Choose whether you want to play as X or O

2. Enter a position number from 0 to 8 when prompted
3. The game will automatically switch turns and check for a winner after every move

##Technologies Used

Python 3 Built using only basic Python (lists, functions, loops, conditionals)

What I Learned

1. Working with lists and indexing
2. Creating and using multiple functions
3. Handling user input with validation
4. Implementing game logic and win conditions
5. Debugging and problem-solving step by step

##Future Improvements (Planned)

1. Add option to play again after the game ends
2. Detect and announce draws (ties)
3. dd a simple computer AI opponent (Single Player mode)
4. Improve code structure and remove global variables

##How to Run Bash# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/latakin/tictactoe-python.git

Navigate to the project folder

cd tictactoe-python

Run the game

python game.py Author Lateef First Python project — Built with determination and no shortcuts.
