 Tic Tac Toe App

 Project Overview

The Tic Tac Toe App is a simple two-player game built with a 3×3 interactive grid. Players take turns marking X and O on the board. The app automatically detects a win or draw and allows the game to be reset for a new round.

This project is ideal for beginners learning mobile app development logic and UI design.

 Interface Design

 Main Components

  • TableArrangement (3×3 Grid)
    Holds 9 buttons representing the Tic Tac Toe board.

  • Label
    Displays game status messages such as:

    • “Player X’s Turn”

    • “Player O Wins!”

    • “It’s a Draw!”

  • Reset Button
    Clears the board and restarts the game.

 Coding Logic

🔹 1. Variables Used

  • currentPlayer → Stores whose turn it is ("X" or "O")

  • board → List of 9 elements representing grid state

  • gameOver → Boolean to stop moves after win/draw

🔹 2. When a Player Clicks a Button

  1. Check if the button is empty and game is not over.

  2. Mark the button with current player’s symbol.

  3. Update board list.

  4. Check for:

    • Winning condition

    • Draw condition

  5. If no win/draw → Switch player.

 Winning Combinations

The app checks these 8 possible win patterns:

  • Rows:

    • (0,1,2)

    • (3,4,5)

    • (6,7,8)

  • Columns:

    • (0,3,6)

    • (1,4,7)

    • (2,5,8)

  • Diagonals:

    • (0,4,8)

    • (2,4,6)

 Reset Button Function

When Reset is pressed:

  • Clear all button texts

  • Reset board list to empty

  • Set currentPlayer = "X"

  • Set gameOver = false

  • Update label to “Player X’s Turn”

 Basic Logic Example (Pseudo Code)

When Button Clicked:
  if cell is empty and gameOver = false
    set cell text = currentPlayer
    update board list
    if win condition true
        display winner message
        gameOver = true
    else if board full
        display draw message
        gameOver = true
    else
        switch currentPlayer

 Key Features
