Question

Write a Java program to play the game Tic-Tac-Toe. Start off with a human playing a human, so each player makes their own moves.

Follow the design below, creating the methods indicated and invoking them in the main program.

Use a char array of size 9 as the board; initialize with the characters 0 to 8 so that it starts out looking something like the board on the left.

0|1|2 3|4|5 6|7|8

and then as moves are entered the board looks like this

0|O|2 3|X|5 6|X|O

Make sure the board lines up properly so that the entries and borders all line up properly. DO NOT print a board that looks like or is similar to the output below where columns are misaligned.

0| O|2

3|X | 5

6 | X|O

You will need a variable to keep track of whose turn it is. Use a char variable named turn and initialize to X when the game starts. After a move, if there is no winner and no draw, switch to the O and continue to take turns as the game progresses. Declare additional variables as you build your program.

1. After the variable declarations, begin a while loop which will keep the game going the user indicates to stop the game. (see a. below)
   1. When a new games starts, allow the user to terminate the program by entering an S or s (remember String has toLowerCase and toUpperCase methods). Any other entry will start a new game.
2. If you are starting a new game, invoke a method to initialize the board and turn and another method to print the board
3. Start an inner while loop that runs as long as the game isn’t over (a win or draw will terminate the game but not the program).
4. Invoke a method to allow the user to make a move
   1. If there is no empty spot, (the game is a draw), print a message and ask the user whether to start a new game or terminate the program
   2. If the value entered is invalid (not 0 to 8), print a message and allow the user to re-enter a move
   3. If the user enters a value but it’s already taken, print a message and allow the user to retry
   4. If the user enters a value and it’s available, set the spot to X or O (depending upon the value of turn) and print the board
5. After a valid move is made, invoke a method to check if the last one to make a move won the game
   • Winner - print the winner and start a new game
   • No winner - switch turn and ask for the next position
