Tic-Tac-Toe (with AI)
Project Title: Tic-Tac-Toe (with AI)
Overview:
Tic-Tac-Toe (with AI) is an enhanced version of the classic two-player grid-based game where one player plays against the computer (AI). The game is played on a 3x3 grid, and the objective is to place three of your symbols (X or O) in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — before your opponent does.
Core Gameplay Features:
- 3x3 grid for gameplay.
- Player chooses to play as X or O.
- The computer plays the opposite side using AI logic.
- Turns alternate between player and AI.
- The game ends with a win, draw, or loss based on the final board state.
Technologies Commonly Used:
- Python with Tkinter or Pygame
- JavaScript with HTML/CSS for web versions
- Java with Swing or JavaFX
- C# with Windows Forms or Unity
How the AI Works:
- Easy Mode: Random move selection.
- Medium Mode: AI blocks the opponent and tries to win.
- Hard Mode (Unbeatable): AI uses the Minimax algorithm to calculate all possible outcomes and choose the best move.
- The AI ensures that it either wins or forces a draw in every game.
Learning Objectives:
- Implementing game state management and turn-taking
- Developing an intelligent AI opponent using decision trees (Minimax)
- Understanding 2D arrays or grid logic
- Building interactive GUI or console-based games
- Improving logic, condition checking, and recursion skills
