🧠 Computer Logic (Bot)

• Easy: Random moves
• Medium:
  • Try to win
  • Block opponent
• Hard:
  • Prioritize center
  • Play corners
  • Win/block logic combined

🔴Note: This is not a Minimax-based AI (yet).»

---

🔴 Limitations

• Console-based UI (no GUI)
• File paths may need adjustment depending on your system

---

🔮 Future Improvements

• Implement Minimax Algorithm for unbeatable Computer
• Refactor using OOP (Object-Oriented Design)
• Add player names & leaderboard
• Add online multiplayer support
