Tic Tac Toe Game in C with GTK

This project is a simple implementation of the classic Tic Tac Toe game using the C programming language and GTK+3 for the graphical user interface. It allows two players to play on the same computer, with the option to restart the game once it ends.

Features

• Play Tic Tac Toe with two players (Player 1: X, Player 2: O)
• Graphical user interface created using GTK+3
• Reset the game anytime by clicking the "Restart" button
• Displays the winner (Player 1 or Player 2) or "Game Over" when the game ends in a draw
• Simple and responsive interface

Requirements

To build and run this project, you need to have the following installed:

• GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) for compiling the C code
• GTK+3 library for creating the graphical user interface
  • On Ubuntu, you can install it with:

    sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

• pkg-config for managing compilation flags for GTK+3 (usually comes with GTK installation)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/liubomyr123/Makefile_tictactoe.git

2. Build the project:

   make

3. Run the game:

   ./tic_tac_toe

How to Play

• Player 1 uses X and Player 2 uses O.
• Click on any of the 9 grid cells to place your mark (X or O).
• The game will detect when a player wins or if the game ends in a draw.
• Once the game ends, click the "Restart" button to start a new game.

Code Structure

• tic_tac_toe.c: Contains the main game logic and GUI implementation using GTK.
• Makefile: Used to build the project using gcc with necessary GTK flags.
• README.md: This file, providing documentation for the project.

How It Works

1. The game initializes a 3x3 grid of buttons for the Tic Tac Toe board.
2. Each button represents a position in the grid. Players take turns clicking on the buttons to place their marks.
3. The program checks after every move if there is a winner or if the game is a draw.
4. If a player wins, the game displays a message indicating the winner.
5. If there is no winner and all positions are filled, the game ends in a draw.

Game Logic

The game logic checks the following possible winning combinations for both players:

• Rows: (1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), (7, 8, 9)
• Columns: (1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)
• Diagonals: (1, 5, 9), (3, 5, 7)

If any of these combinations are filled by the same player's mark (X or O), that player is declared the winner.
