TIC TAC TOE

This is an implementation of the Tic tac toe game in Ruby language.

Tic tac toe is a game played by two players who take turns in fillimg the positions on the game board until there is a winner or till the board is full. The winner is the one who manages to have three of their marks in a straight line. If the board is full and there is no player with three of their marks in a straight line, then it's considered to be a draw.

RULES

There was no UI created for this game so the game is played in the commandline after running the command ruby bin/main.rb within the project directory.

• Play occurs on a 3 by 3 grid of 9 squares.

• Two players take turns only in the empty squares, the first making X's, the second O's.

• A row is any three squares on the grid, adjacent, diagonally, vertically, or horizontally.

• If one player places three of the same marks in a row, the player WINS! :D

• If the spaces are all filled and there is no winner, the game ends in a draw. :(

INSTRUCTIONS

To start the game, in a terminal navigate to the root directory and type:

ruby bin/main.rb

or if using Windows you can simply run

main.exe

This is the starting screen of the game, here we have the header which includes the instructions for playing the game.

The first player who is player_one is asked to enter their name and is assigned to use letter X in the game while the second player who is player_two is assigned the letter 'O' once they have entered their names.

On the main game state, we have a numbered board with numbers ranging from 1 to 9 and a message prompting for user input. Player 'X' starts typing a number from 1 to 9 and pressing enter. Player 'O' will then be prompted for a number from 1 to 9.

If a player inputs an invalid number, he'll receive a warning and will be prompted for input again, until a valid value is provided. The game goes on until one of the players wins or when the board is full and we have a draw.

The game will display the winner or a draw incase the board is full and there is no winner.
