Today I will show you how we can make our childhood game, Tic tac toe using c programming. The tic-tac-toe game is played on a 3×3 grid the game is played by two players, who take turns. The first player marks move with a circle, the second with a cross. The player who has formed a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal sequence of three marks wins. Your program should draw the game board, ask the user for the coordinates of the next mark, change the players after every successful move, and pronounce the winner. every successful move, and pronounce the winner.
Below is the source code of tic tac toe
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
char square[10] = { 'o', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' };
int checkwin();
void board();
int main()
{
int player = 1, i, choice;
char mark;
do
{
board();
player = (player % 2) ? 1 : 2;
printf("Player %d, enter a number: ", player);
scanf("%d", &choice);
mark = (player == 1) ? 'X' : 'O';
if (choice == 1 && square[1] == '1')
square[1] = mark;
else if (choice == 2 && square[2] == '2')
square[2] = mark;
else if (choice == 3 && square[3] == '3')
square[3] = mark;

square[4] = mark;

square[6] = mark;

square[8] = mark;

square[9] = mark;
