Simple java program to play tic tac toe (mostly used now as an example of how repetitive code can be refactored with OOP). Can play against another human player, or the computer. You can even make the computers play each other if you are really bored.

Tic Tac Toe

Simple java program to play tic tac toe. Can play against another human player, or the computer. You can even make the computers play each other if you are really bored.

Getting Started

To get started, grab the https link above and clone this repo to your local machine

git clone https://github.com/benhurley/tic-tac-toe.git

Next, run the following command with the makefile to build the executable JAR

make

Finally, run the executable

java -jar TicTacToe.jar

The above will default to the 2-person ode asking for keyboard entry. To play the computer, use the 'c' flag followed by which player number to assign to.

Example:

java -jar TicTacToe.jar -c 1

to have the computer play first (X's) as player 1 or

java -jar TicTacToe.jar -c 2

to have the computer play second (O's) as player 2

Note: If a player number is not assigned, then both players will be assigned to computer players, and a simulation will occur.
