Tic Tac Toe Tic Tac Toe (or noughts and crosses) is played on a 3 × 3 grid, which is initially empty. Each of two players goes in turn. One places a cross in a blank square. Then the other places a nought in a blank square.

The winner is the person who gets a line of three noughts or three crosses. Thus Figure 14.5 represents a win for noughts.

Games can end in a draw, where neither side has obtained a line.

Write a program to play the game. A button is provided to start a new game. The program shows the noughts and crosses graphically, each in its own panel. The human player specifies a move by clicking with the mouse on the panel where the cross is to be placed. The other player is the computer, which plays as noughts and decides where to play on a random basis
