Question
Your final assignment is to implement a Tic-Tac-Toe game in Java where a human user can play against the computer! Your game must: Use a two dimensional array to represent the game board Use a while loop and conditional logic to allow two players to take turns. Allow the user to specify where they would like to move. When the user enters the position of their move, you should display an updated game board showing their move (or throw an exception if they try to move to a location that isn’t empty). Display “Humans player wins”, “Computer wins”, or “It’s a draw.” when the game is over. Maintain a record of each game in a file called games.txt. The results of each game should be appendedto the file. It should be displayed to the user before every new game, and be displayed in the format below: Game 1: Human player wins Game 2: Computer wins Game 3: Computer wins Note: You don't need to make the computer player behave intelligently. It's fine for the computer to choose any available position randomly.
