Tic-Tac-Toe Game (C++ AND Golang (go))

This repository contains a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game implemented in C++ and Go, featuring both a graphical interface and a web-based API to handle game moves and state. The game allows two players to make moves on a 3x3 board, with support for checking for winners, handling ties, and switching turns.

Features:

• Graphical Interface (Windows): The game includes a GUI that allows players to interact with the game board using mouse clicks. It displays the state of the game and announces the winner or draw.
• Web API (Go): The game server is written in Go, which exposes an HTTP API that allows players to make moves by sending POST requests.
• Parallelism (TBB): The application uses Intel's Threading Building Blocks (TBB) for parallel computation in drawing the grid and handling multiple processes simultaneously.
• Cross-Technology Integration: The C++ client communicates with the Go server to update the game state over HTTP requests.

Technologies Used:

• C++: For the graphical client that interacts with the user.
• Go: For the web server handling the game logic.
• WinAPI: For rendering the graphical interface on Windows.
• Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB): For optimizing parallel operations during grid drawing.
• WinINet: For handling HTTP requests on Windows to communicate with the Go server.

How to Run:

1. Compile the C++ Client:

   • Use g++ with MinGW to compile the C++ client code. Make sure to link against necessary libraries such as TBB, GDI32, and WinINet.

   g++ -I/mingw64/include -L/mingw64/lib tictactoe.cpp -ltbb12 -lgdi32 -lwininet -o tictactoe

2. Run the Go Server:

   • The Go server listens on port 8080. It serves as the backend logic that processes game moves.

   go run server.go

3. Run the ./tictactoe:

   • Run this on terminal.

   ./tictactoe

4. Play the Game:

   • After starting the server and compiling the client, run the tictactoe executable on your Windows machine to launch the graphical interface.
   • You can make moves by clicking on the grid in the GUI, which will communicate with the Go server to update the game state.
