Features

• Human vs Human gameplay
• Human vs AI gameplay
• AI vs AI gameplay
• Simple command-line interface
• Minimax algorithm for AI decision making

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, or MSVC)

Building and Running

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/coding-pelican/tic-tac-toe-c.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd tic-tac-toe-c

3. Compile the source code:

clang tic_tac_toe.c -o tic_tac_toe

4. Run the game:

./tic_tac_toe

How to Play

1. Launch the game executable.
2. From the main menu, select the game mode:
   • Play with Another Player
