Tic-Tac-Toe with AI Opponent
Project Title
Tic-Tac-Toe with AI Opponent (PHP)
Project Summary
This is a web-based Tic-Tac-Toe game where users can play against either another player or an AI opponent. The game is built with PHP for backend logic, JavaScript for interactivity, and basic AI algorithms to enable the computer to make moves. The game provides a fun experience and allows users to challenge themselves with an AI opponent.
Core Features
- Classic Tic-Tac-Toe game board with a 3x3 grid
- Option to play against another player or the AI
- AI opponent using a simple strategy (e.g., random moves or minimax algorithm for smarter play)
- Real-time game updates with PHP handling turn-based logic
- Game over detection when a player wins or the game ends in a draw
- Restart button to start a new game
Technologies Used
- PHP for backend game logic, session management, and turn handling
- HTML and CSS for displaying the Tic-Tac-Toe grid and styling
- JavaScript for real-time interaction and updating the board
- Optional MySQL for storing player scores or game history
- AJAX (optional) for dynamic updates without page reload
Learning Outcomes
- Building game logic and decision-making algorithms (for the AI)
- Implementing turn-based gameplay with session handling in PHP
- Using basic AI techniques like the minimax algorithm for decision making
- Enhancing user experience with interactive front-end design
- Managing game states and transitions between different stages of the game
Possible Enhancements
- Improve AI with advanced algorithms (e.g., minimax with alpha-beta pruning)
- Add difficulty levels for the AI (easy, medium, hard)
- Enable multiplayer mode with player vs. player functionality
- Include a scoreboard to track player wins, losses, and draws
- Make the interface mobile-friendly and visually appealing with animations
