Tic-Tac-Toe Game

This is a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game that allows two players to play over a network. It consists of three components:

1. Server: Acts as the game coordinator, handling the connection between Player 1 and Player 2.
2. Player 1: Connects to the server and plays as 'X'.
3. Player 2: Connects to the server and plays as 'O'.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• socket library (included in Python's standard library)

How to Run

Step 1: Start the Server

1. Open a terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory where the server code is located.
3. Run the following command to start the server: The server will wait for Player 1 and Player 2 to connect.

Step 2: Start Player 1

1. Open another terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory where the Player 1 code is located.
3. Run the following command to start Player 1:
4. Player 1 will connect to the server and play as 'X'.

Step 3: Start Player 2

1. Open another terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory where the Player 2 code is located.
3. Run the following command to start Player 2:
4. Player 2 will connect to the server and play as 'O'.

Step 4: Play the Game

• Player 1 and Player 2 will take turns to mark a cell on the board.
• The game ends when either one player wins or the board is full and the game results in a draw.

How It Works

• Server: The server listens for incoming connections on a specific port. Once both players are connected, it alternates between Player 1 and Player 2 to update the game board and check for a winner.
• Player 1: Connects to the server and plays as 'X'. Player 1 makes their move by entering the row and column numbers for the desired cell.
• Player 2: Connects to the server and plays as 'O'. Player 2 also enters the row and column for their move.

Communication

• The server communicates with the players over a TCP/IP connection.
• Players input their moves in the format: row,column (e.g., 1,1 for the top-left corner).
