tic-tac-toe game in matlab

To program a Tic-Tac-Toe game in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a 3x3 matrix to represent the game board:

   main.m
   board = zeros(3,3);

   2 lines

2. Create a loop that alternates between players, and prompts each player for their move. One way to do this would be to use a mod operator to determine which player's turn it is (player 1 plays on odd-numbered moves, player 2 plays on even-numbered moves). For example:

   main.m
   player = 1;
   for move_num = 1:9
       % Prompt player for input
       fprintf('Player %d, enter your move (row, column): ', player);
       move = input('');
   
       % Update the board with the player's move 
       board(move(1), move(2)) = player;
   
       % Check for win condition
       if check_win(board, player)
           fprintf('Player %d wins!\n', player);
           break;
       end
   
       % Switch to the other player
       player = mod(player, 2) + 1;
   end

   19 lines

3. Define a function to check for win conditions:

   main.m
   function win = check_win(board, player)
       % Check for vertically-aligned pieces
       win = any(all(board == player, 1));
   
       % Check for horizontally-aligned pieces
       win = win || any(all(board == player, 2));
   
       % Check for diagonally-aligned pieces
       diagonal1 = diag(board);
       diagonal2 = diag(fliplr(board));
       win = win || all(diagonal1 == player) || all(diagonal2 == player);
   end
   398 chars
   13 lines

This function checks for any rows, columns, or diagonals where all of the pieces belong to the same player.

4. At the end of the loop, if nobody has won, print a message indicating the game ended in a tie:

   main.m
   if move_num == 9
       fprintf('Game over - tie game!\n');
   end

   4 lines

This is just one possible implementation of the game - there are many other ways to do it.
