Tic Tac Toe – Play Against AI

## About Tic Tac Toe

Tic Tac Toe (also known as Noughts and Crosses or Xs and Os) is one of the oldest and most widely played strategy games in the world. Our version features an AI opponent powered by the Minimax algorithm, making it virtually unbeatable. Can you manage a draw against perfect play?

## How to Play

You play as **X** and the AI plays as **O**. Click any empty square on the 3×3 grid to place your mark. The AI will then calculate its optimal move and respond. The first player to get three marks in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins.

**The goal:** Get three of your marks in a row before the AI does.

## The Minimax Algorithm

Our AI uses the Minimax algorithm, which explores all possible future moves to determine the optimal strategy. This means the AI will never lose — the best you can achieve is a draw. This makes the game an excellent challenge for players who want to test their strategic thinking against a mathematically perfect opponent.

## Tips and Strategy

1. **Take the center first.** The center square is the most powerful position on the board, as it is part of four winning lines.
2. **Block the AI.** If the AI has two marks in a row, you must block the third square immediately.
3. **Create forks.** A fork is when you create two simultaneous threats. This forces the AI to block one, allowing you to win with the other.
4. **Aim for a draw.** Against a Minimax AI, a draw is the best possible outcome. Play carefully and think several moves ahead.
