Simple TTT in Java

Overview

Simple TTT in Java is a lightweight, open-source implementation of the classic Tic-Tac-Toe game (also known as Noughts and Crosses) designed to be played in the terminal. The game is written entirely in Java and uses a simple command-line interface, making it both accessible and educational.

The project is intended as a practical example for:

• Learning Java programming basics.
• Understanding object-oriented design (separating responsibilities across classes).
• Practicing Gradle-based builds and project structure.
• Experimenting with version control and open-source workflows.
