How to Play

Basic Gameplay

• The game board is a 3x3 grid.
• Players take turns to place their marks on the board.
• The first player to get three of their symbols in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) wins the game.

Input Method

• Rows and columns are numbered from 1 to 3.
• Enter the position in the format (x,y) where x is the row number and y is the column number.
• Example: to place a symbol in the first row and first column, enter (1,1).
• The input must not contain any spaces; otherwise, the program will prompt the player to re-enter the position.

Advanced and CPU Options

• Advanced Option: players can enter their names and choose the mark they want to play with from a list of possible symbols.
• CPU Option: play against the computer.
  • In 1-player mode, the player can enter their name and choose their mark as in the advanced option.
  • In 2-player mode, the game defaults to the advanced option.
