Tic Tac Toe

Challenge the AI in this classic Tic Tac Toe puzzle! Place your X on the grid, block your opponent, and get three in a row to win. Three difficulty levels test your strategic thinking.

How to Play:
Tic Tac Toe is the timeless two-player strategy game played on a 3Γ—3 grid. You play as X against the computer which plays as O.

Objective:
Get three of your X marks in a row β€” horizontally, vertically, or diagonally β€” before the AI does.

Controls:
- Desktop: Click on any empty cell to place your X
- Mobile / Tablet: Tap on any empty cell to place your X
- Click the PLAY button to start the game

Winning:
- Three X marks in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) = You Win!
- If all 9 cells are filled with no winner = Draw!
- Three O marks in a row means the AI wins

AI Difficulty Levels:
- Easy: AI picks random moves β€” perfect for casual fun and learning
- Medium: AI mixes smart and random moves (50/50) β€” a balanced challenge
- Hard: AI plays optimally using win/block logic and corner strategy β€” unbeatable for beginners

Game Features:
- Play against an AI opponent with three difficulty levels
- Hard mode AI uses smart strategy: it tries to win, blocks your moves, and prioritizes center and corners
- Clean neon-styled grid with animated X and O placements
- AI has a realistic thinking delay so you can follow its moves
- Instant restart with the Play Again button
- Responsive canvas adapts to any screen size

Pro Tips:
- Always take the center if available β€” it gives you the most winning lines
- On Hard mode, the AI will always block your winning move β€” look for double-threat setups
- Corner positions are powerful β€” they participate in three different lines each
- If the AI takes a corner first, respond by taking the opposite corner for a draw
- On Easy mode, focus on creating two simultaneous threats the AI cannot block both
