Tic-Tac-Toe Game in C

This is a simple implementation of the classic game Tic-Tac-Toe in C. It allows two players to play against each other and keeps track of the game state to determine the winner or a draw.

How to Play

1. Compile the code using a C compiler.
2. Run the compiled executable.
3. Choose one of the options from the menu:
   • 1. Play: Start a new game.
   • 2. Leaderboard: Display the leaderboard (not implemented in this version).
4. If you choose to play, enter the names of Player 1 and Player 2.
5. The game will display the game board with numbered fields:

     |    |
   1 |  2 | 3
 ----|----|----
   4 |  5 | 6
 ----|----|----
   7 |  8 | 9
     |    |

6. Players take turns entering the number of the field they want to play.
7. The game will update the board with the corresponding symbol ('X' or 'O') for each player's move.
8. The game will continue until a player wins or there is a draw.
9. The winner or draw result will be displayed.

Implementation Details

  • 0 if the game is a draw.
  • -1 if the game is still in progress.
• The main loop handles player turns, input validation, updating the game board, and calling the board function.
• The game ends when there is a winner or a draw.

Requirements

• C compiler
