I have been taking a C++ class for the past month or so, and this is my first real program. I wrote it in the spare time during my class (there was a lot of it because I go through the book faster than my classmates :))

It is a tic tac toe game that I built up from scratch. At first, it just picked random spaces to go to, then it blocked spaces or won if it had two in a row and an option open, and now I have programmed in all of the logic to it to make it actually be smart.

The .cpp source code is included.

Edit: By console game I don’t mean Mario type, I mean it runs in a console window 😉
