Running the Game

After building the project, you can run the Tic-Tac-Toe game:

./tictac-toe-ai

How to Play

• The game is played on a 3x3 board.
• You (PLAYER_O) play against the AI (PLAYER_X).
• Enter your moves by specifying the row and column (1-based) where you want to place your mark.
• The AI will take its turn immediately after you make your move.
• The game ends when there's a winner or a draw.

AI Implementation

The AI opponent in this game is implemented using the minimax algorithm. It explores all possible moves to find the best one for the AI and make the game challenging for the player.

Project Structure

• main.cpp: Contains the main game loop and user interaction.
• tictactoe.h: Header file defining constants, data structures, and function prototypes.
• tictactoe.cpp: Implementation of game logic and AI using minimax.
• CMakeLists.txt: CMake configuration file for building the project.
