TicTacToe Game – Python Script

TicTacToe Game is a graphical desktop game written in Python and built with Pygame. It provides a simple example of creating a playable TicTacToe game using Python.

The project includes a basic defense AI that responds to the player's moves and attempts to prevent the player from completing three in a row.

Game Features

The script lets you play TicTacToe against the included AI. Its straightforward implementation also makes it useful for developers who want to study how a basic Python game can be structured.
