Python Tic Tac Toe (Terminal Version)

A fun and interactive Tic Tac Toe game built in Python for the terminal. Two players can play turn-by-turn, placing Xs and Os on a grid, with a clear ASCII-based UI.

Features

• Two-player gameplay (Player 1: X, Player 2: O)
• ASCII-art based 3x3 grid with a visually spaced-out 13x13 representation
• Validates user inputs
• Detects win conditions (rows, columns, diagonals)
• Declares winner or draw
• Clears screen after each move for better visibility

How to Run

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Make sure Python is installed (recommended: Python 3.6+)
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder
4. Run the game using:

python3 tic_tac_toe.py

Note: On Windows, change the command os.system('clear') to os.system('cls') inside the script for the screen to clear properly.

Game Instructions

• The board has 9 positions, numbered 1 to 9 like this:

1 | 2 | 3
---------
4 | 5 | 6
---------
7 | 8 | 9

• Players take turns entering the number of the position where they want to place their mark.
• Player 1 uses X, Player 2 uses O.
• The game ends when one player gets 3 in a row, column, or diagonal—or the board is full (draw).

Example Gameplay

Player 1 Enter the Choice between 1 to 9: 5
Player 2 Enter the Choice between 1 to 9: 1
Player 1 Enter the Choice between 1 to 9: 9
...
Player 1 is winner!
