This course will teach beginner-level coders to build the classic game Tic-Tac-Toe in C++ using a modular programming method.

After learning the basics of C++, it’s a great idea to complete at least one hands-on project where you can build something from scratch using C++. This course offers the opportunity to build the basic but classic Tic-Tac-Toe game, command-line style.

You’ll begin the course by looking at the end product and then building the game step-by-step, adding one tiny feature in each lesson. This way, you’ll add one or two helper functions to the codebase and then test them individually in the main controller function. Because of this modular approach, you’ll finish coding the game efficiently and professionally.

By the end of the course, you’ll have one complete hands-on project in C++ added to your profile.

Tic-Tac-Toe with C++

# What we have

We have the breakdown of the game, so let’s go through the first thing we saw in the game.

We have to initialize a board for our game. A Tic-Tac-Toe board has 9 empty places, so we need an array of the same length.

# Requirements of this module
We need to place X and O on our game board. These are `char` type inputs, so our array will be `char` type. 

Now, we know that we need a `char` type array of length 9. We can perform these steps to complete this task:

- Receive two parameters: `board` and its `size`.

- Fill the array using the `for` loop with the characters "1" to "9".

# Let's try it

All the functions are already defined. You just have to implement the given function and execute the code.



Learn what components are required for initializing the board.
