Tic-Tac-Toe Android Game Welcome to Tic-Tac-Toe, a classic two-player strategy game built for Android! In this turn-based game, players alternate marking X’s and O’s on a 3x3 grid, with the goal of securing three marks in a row before their opponent.
🕹️ Game Overview Tic-Tac-Toe is a simple, yet exciting turn-based game that requires players to employ strategy and tactical moves to win. Whether you are Player 1 (X) or Player 2 (O), you must think ahead and plan your moves to outsmart your opponent.
Key features include:
Two-player mode: Player 1 vs Player 2 Real-time turn switching: Switches between X and O automatically Win detection: Rows, columns, and diagonals are all checked for a winner Draw detection: If the grid is full and no winner, it's a draw!

🎮 How to Play Start the game: The game begins with Player 1 playing as "X". Mark your move: Tap on any available cell on the 3x3 grid to mark your symbol (X or O). Win conditions: Secure three X’s or O’s in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The game checks for a winning combination after each move. End of the game: Once a player wins, a message displays the winner, and the game board is reset. Draw: If all cells are filled and no player has won, the game declares a draw and resets automatically. Alternate turns: Players alternate between turns. After Player 1 plays, the turn switches to Player 2 (O), and vice versa.
🧩 Game Mechanics Turn-based mechanics: Players take turns marking their symbols on the grid. Win Detection: Every time a symbol is placed, the game checks if there are three matching symbols in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). Draw Mechanism: If all cells on the grid are occupied with no winning combination, the game detects a draw and resets the board for a new game. UI Design: Simple and intuitive design with a clean and responsive UI.

Activity Layout (XML): Defines the layout of the 3x3 grid and the player status display. Button Controls: Each button on the grid represents a cell, and tapping one triggers the player's move.
🎯 Game Objectives Strategy: Players need to think ahead and block their opponent's moves while attempting to line up their own symbols. Competitive gameplay: The game provides a competitive experience where two players battle it out for Tic-Tac-Toe supremacy!
