Tic-Tac-Toe

Welcome to the ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe experience. This isn't your average paper-and-pencil game. Built with a focus on polished game feel and robust software architecture, this project elevates the classic puzzle with satisfying, tactile mechanics. Featuring a fully integrated dynamic audio mixer, deep wood-carved UI aesthetics, and an intelligent backend, every move feels snappy and responsive.

Game Modes:

• Local PvP: Settle the score the old-fashioned way in local hotseat multiplayer.
• Player vs. AI: Test your skills against the machine. Choose to lead the charge as 'X' or play defensively as 'O'.
• Watcher Mode (AI vs. AI): Kick back and watch the algorithm play against itself. A great way to see the Minimax logic in action.

Under the Hood: Object-Oriented AI

Built with modularity in mind, the game's intelligence is driven by a strict Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) foundation. The current AI utilizes a fully implemented Minimax algorithm, allowing it to calculate future board states and guarantee a draw or a win—it will never make a mistake and even plays differently every time due to random best move decisions.

Because the AI controller is decoupled from the game logic, the architecture is designed to be highly scalable. The system is fully prepped for the future integration of new AI "personalities" and modular difficulty bots (such as a bot that makes randomized mistakes, or one that favors aggressive corner placements) without needing to rewrite the core game loop.

Features:

• Unbeatable Minimax AI algorithm.
• Custom UI software cursor with dynamic scaling.
• Logarithmic Audio Mixer with master, music, and SFX channels.
• Crisp, carved-wood visual design and satisfying audio feedback.
