1. Game Objective

Tic Tac Toe is a classic two-player game where players take turns marking spaces in a 3×3 grid. The goal is to be the first to get three of your marks (either X or O) in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. If all nine squares are filled without either player achieving this, the game ends in a draw.

2. Game Components

HTML Structure

• Board: The game board is a 3×3 grid created using a div container with nine child div elements, each representing a cell.

• Status Display: A div element shows the current game status (e.g., whose turn it is or if someone has won).

• Restart Button: A button to reset the game at any time.

CSS Styling

• Modern Design: The game features a sleek, dark-themed design with gradient backgrounds, glowing effects, and glassmorphism (frosted glass effect) for the board.

• Responsive Layout: The game is designed to work on both desktop and mobile devices.

• Animations: Smooth hover effects, scaling, and winning cell animations enhance the user experience.

JavaScript Logic

• Game State: An array (gameState) keeps track of the current state of the board (which cells are occupied by X or O).

• Player Turns: The game alternates between Player X and Player O.

• Win Detection: The script checks for winning combinations after each move.

• Draw Detection: If all cells are filled and no player has won, the game declares a draw.

• Restart Functionality: The game can be reset to its initial state with a single click.
