Tic-Tac-Toe in C

Welcome to my simple Tic-Tac-Toe game! It's a fun little project where you play against the computer. The computer tries to be smart, but you can still beat it!

Features

• Play vs computer.
• Computer blocks your winning moves (sometimes!).
• Nice board display, easy to follow.
• Game tells if you win, lose, or draw.

3. Run it:

How to Play
