Game Rules

The rules are simple and follow the traditional Tic Tac Toe game:

• The game is played on a grid that's 3 squares by 3 squares.
• Player 1 is X, and Player 2 (or the computer) is O. Players take turns putting their marks in empty squares.
• The first player to get 3 of their marks in a row (up, down, across, or diagonally) is the winner.
• If all 9 squares are filled and no player has 3 marks in a row, the game is declared a draw.

Technologies

• Python: The entire game is developed in Python, making use of its standard libraries for functionalities like file handling and datetime operations.
