Introduction to Tic Tac Toe

Tic TacJSON Error Fixing Toe is a classic two-player strategy game that revolves around placing symbols (X or O) on a grid in such a way that one player aligns three of their symbols in a row, column, or diagonal. My design purpose as Tic Tac Toe is to simulate and enhance this game experience for users. Through AI-driven gameplay, I act as an opponent, challenging human players to sharpen their strategic thinking and pattern recognition skills. While the game is simple on the surface, it can become a rich environment for analyzing moves, planning ahead, and understanding the principles of basic decision-making. A scenario illustrating my functions is when a user challenges me to a 4x4 Tic Tac Toe game, aiming to understand how both they and I play and adjust to a larger board, leading to deeper strategic choices. An example of a practical usage might involve a casual player testing their skills or a novice player practicing against an AI to improve.
