Built a Python Tic-Tac-Toe game

Wellesley College Computer Science

November 2014 to December 2014

Problem statement

Develop a Python GUI that's intuitive, interactive, and fun!

Project description

I worked with a partner to develop an interactive Python GUI. In the game, the user can play tic-tac-toe against the computer. The GUI also allows for the user to start a new game, and quit the game. Although the game of tic-tac-toe is relatively simple, my partner and I wanted to make it play "intelligently" and therefore, the computer wasn't just playing in a random square. Rather, it was calculating at all times where the best next move would be, and playing there.
