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.

It was no fun when it lost every time either lol, I couldn’t really find a happy medium, so I decided to make it smart 😛
