Tic Tac Toe (Console Version)

A minimalist terminal-based implementation of the classic game using Python.

---

About the Project

This project is a lightweight, console-based Tic Tac Toe game developed to demonstrate fundamental programming principles. It focuses on clean code structure, efficient control flow, and robust user input validation within a 3x3 grid environment.

Features

• Human vs. CPU: Interactive gameplay against an automated opponent.
• CPU Logic: The computer selects moves based on available valid positions using randomized selection.
• Input Validation: Ensures user moves are within the correct numeric range and prevents overwriting occupied cells.
• Game State Management: Automatic detection of win conditions and draw scenarios.
• Text-Based Interface: Clean and intuitive grid rendering directly in the terminal.

Technologies Used

• Python 3: Core logic and runtime environment.
• Random Module: Utilized for CPU move generation.

How to Run

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/username/tic-tac-toe-console.git

2. Navigate to the directory:

cd tic-tac-toe-console

3. Run the application:

python main.py

Project Structure

The source code follows a functional programming approach with a clear separation of concerns:

• main.py: Main entry point containing the game loop.
• render_board(): Manages the visual representation of the grid.
• handle_input(): Manages user interaction and data sanitization.
• check_win(): Evaluates the board against predefined winning combinations.
• check_draw(): Monitors board capacity to identify tie games.
• cpu_move(): Implements the logic for the automated player (X).
