How to Play

Tic-Tac-Toe is based on a pen and paper game. In this version, the player enters their name and board size. The player is playing against a computer. The player is playing as X and the computer as O. The player and computer each take a turn to try and fill a space. The winner is the one that fills an entire row, column, or diagonal.

Existing Features

Testing

• I have tested the game and it works on all 3 board sizes.
• The computer is making random moves until it detects it can win then is going for the win.
• In the current state there are no known bugs.
• All the features are working as intended.
• I have tested the app on PEP8 Python Validator and no there was no error.

Bugs

• Old version gave the player the choice to whatever board size he wanted. The old version could break the game if for example, the user selected a board size like 100x100 making the game impossible to win (fixed by making the board size available between 3x3 to 5x5)
