Tic Tac Toe: 3 In A Row

Tic-tac-toe, also known as Noughts and Crosses, is a classic game for two players where each player takes turns marking spaces in a 3x3 grid. The goal is to place three marks in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, to win the game. This game is also known as 3 in a row or Xs and Os, with one player typically using X and the other using O.

Now, a bit of history about the game. Games played on three-in-a-row boards can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where they were found on roofing tiles dating back to 1300 BCE. The first print reference to "noughts and crosses" appeared in 1858, and the first reference to "tick-tack-toe" was in 1884, describing a children's game played on a slate.

In the 20th century, "noughts and crosses" was renamed as "tic-tac-toe" in the US. In 1952, it became one of the first known video games when British computer scientist Sandy Douglas developed OXO (or Noughts and Crosses) for the EDSAC computer at the University of Cambridge. The computer player was able to play perfect games against a human opponent.
