Question

write a program (name it TTT.java) that simulates a two player game of Tic-Tac-Toe.

import java.util.Scanner;

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

any questions just ask

sample game

public class main
{public static void main(String[] args)
{String [][]board=new String[3][3];
boolean gameover=false;
String player="O";
int count=0;
TTTMethods t=new TTTMethods();
t.populateArray(board,"-");
while(!gameover)
    {count++;
    player=t.alternatePlayer(player);
    t.printArray(board);
    t.playerMove(board,player);
    gameover=t.testIfWinner(board,player,count);
   
    }
}

}
