Rules in Tic Tac Toe
Tic tac toe consists of 3 x 3 grids. It requires 2 players to play. Each player mark in the empty space of the grids with unique symbols, which are "X" and "O". The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a diagonal, horizontal, or vertical row is the winner.
Example game 1:
In this example, the player who marks the symbol "X" wins because the player succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal row among the 9 grids.
Example game 2:
In this example, the player who marks the symbol "O" wins because the player succeeds in placing three of their marks in a vertical row among the 9 grids.
Example game 3:
In this example, the player who marks the symbol "O" wins because the player succeeds in placing three of their marks in a diagonal among the 9 grids.
Example game 4:
