🎮 How to Play


Learn how to play Tic Tac Toe Mastermind and challenge the cunning AI! The gameplay is simple yet deep. You and the AI take turns placing your mark (X or O) on a 3x3 grid. Click any empty square to place your symbol. The core mechanic is to strategically form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of three of your marks before the AI can. Each move is critical in this battle of wits, so plan ahead to outsmart your digital opponent and claim victory.

🕹️ Controls


• Primary Control: Use your mouse or finger (on touchscreen devices) to click or tap on an empty square to place your X or O mark.
• Mobile/Touchscreen: The game is fully optimized for touch. Simply tap your desired grid cell to make your move.
• Keyboard Controls (Desktop): While primarily mouse-driven, you can often use the Tab key to navigate the grid and Enter/Spacebar to confirm a placement on a highlighted square. The game may also feature keyboard shortcuts for menus and restarting.

🎯 Objectives


Your primary objective is to win the game by being the first player to align three of your marks in a row. This can be achieved horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Your short-term goal is to block the AI's potential winning lines while building your own. The long-term target is to consistently outthink the Mastermind AI, proving your strategic prowess. Success is achieved by anticipating your opponent's moves and forcing them into a position where they cannot stop you from completing your line.

💡 Pro Tips


• 🎪 Master the Center: The center square is the most powerful position on the grid. If you go first, start here to maximize your control over the board.
• ⚡ Create Forks: Position your marks to create two potential winning moves at once. The AI can only block one, guaranteeing you a win on your next turn.
• 🏆 Force a Draw: If a win seems impossible, focus on blocking the AI at every turn. Forcing a draw against the Mastermind is a strategic victory in itself!
• 🎪 Watch the AI: The AI is programmed to win. Use its moves to understand its strategy. If it blocks a certain line, it’s often because it was a threat—remember that pattern for future games.
• ⚡ Corner Strategy: Occupying opposite corners can often lead to strong positional advantages and set up unexpected forks against an unsuspecting opponent.
