Tic-tac-toe (4x4)

This is a 4x4 Tic-tac-toe solver implemented in Python. It includes the core game logic for checking winners and managing game states. Note that the input UI is not implemented yet.

Features

• Functions to check for winning conditions (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, 4 corners, 2x2 boxes)
• Function to check if any moves are left
• Function to determine if the game is over

How to play

• Execute the script by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

  python tictactoe.py

• When prompted, enter the current state of the board.

  • The board is a 4x4 grid where:

    • 0 represents an empty cell
    • 1 represents the first player's move
    • 2 represents the second player's move

  • Enter the board row by row, separating each cell value with a space. For example:

    0 1 0 2
    1 0 2 0
    0 2 1 0
    2 0 1 0
    

    1 2 1 2
    2 1 1 1
    1 2 2 2
    2 1 2 1
    

    1 2 2 1
    0 0 0 0
    0 0 0 0
    1 0 2 1
    

• The script will evaluate the board and determine the game state:
  • If there is a winner, it will print either "First player wins!" or "Second player wins!".
  • If the game is a tie (no moves left and no winner), it will print "Tie".
  • If the game is not yet over (there are still moves left and no winner), it will print "Continue".

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
