Tic-Tac-Toe

This is a text-based Tic-Tac-Toe game implemented in Python. The game allows two players to take turns inputting their moves until there is a winner or the game ends in a draw.

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.6 or higher installed on your system.

Running the application:

1- Clone this repository or download the project files.

2- Run the Python script:

Launch the application by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

python main.py

3- After lauching the app, do the following:

• After launching, instructions on how to play will be displayed.

• Players take turns marking a spot on the 3x3 grid by entering the position in the format XY, where X is the row number and Y is the column number (both starting from 0).

  • Example: 00 marks to top left spot; 11 marks the center spot.

• The game continues until a player wins by getting three in a row, or the game ends in a draw.

Code Structure:

• Main Game Loop: The game runs in a while loop that continues until there is a win or a draw.

• play() Function: Handles player input, marking the board with X or O based on the current player's turn. It also validates the input to ensure the move is legal.

• victory_check() Function: Checks the current state of the board to determine if a player has won the game by completing a row, column, or diagonal.

• is_draw() Function: Detects if the game is a draw by checking if all spots on the board are filled without a winner.

• tic_tac_print() Function: Prints the current state of the game board after each turn.

Example Game Flow:

1- The game begins with an empty board.

2- Player 1 (X) selects a position by entering a two-digit number like 00 to mark the top-left spot.

3- The board is updated and displayed.

4- Player 2 (O) then selects a position to mark their symbol.

5- The game checks for a win or a draw after each move.

6- The game continues until either a player wins or there’s a draw.
