Board minigame. Players take turns in marking squares on a grid. The first player unable to move loses.
The game is played on a grid, usually 6 x 6 is a good size. One player is 'O' and the other is 'X'.
The players take turns in writing their symbol in an empty cell. Placing a symbol blocks all of the neighbouring cells from both players, which is indicated by shading the blocks.
The AI opponent in this game utilizes a robust decision-making algorithm based on the Minimax approach, which is a widely adopted technique in game theory and artificial intelligence. This algorithm enables the AI to consider all available moves and their potential outcomes, allowing it to strategically select the most optimal move against the player
