Tic Tac Toe Game implementation in x86 Assembly using GNU+Linux.
Before compiling, make sure you have NASM, and GCC installed. Note that this program works only on x86 compatible processors and only on GNU+Linux operating system. First step is to assemble the program using NASM:
nasm -f elf32 -g -F dwarf tictactoe.asm
Next, we need to use a linker. ld would be appropriate, however, since we need to import time, rand, and srand functions from standard C library, we use GCC's builtin linker. Locate where libstdc++.a (the C std library) is in your system. For example, mine was in /lib/libstdc++.a. Now call the linker:
gcc -m32 -I/lib/libstdc++.a tictactoe.o -o tictactoe
Note: change /lib/libstdc++.a with your own stdlib path.
Now run the game:
./tictactoe
Enjoy!

You play always with Xs. AI player plays with Os. When it's your turn, type the number of the cell you would like to place your X on.
