The "Play Against AI" option in the Tic-Tac-Toe game is not functioning as expected. After the user makes a move, the AI either does not respond promptly or provides an incorrect result, leading to an unfair or incomplete game experience. Additionally, the game fails to display the outcome (win, lose, or draw) correctly, which is essential for a complete gameplay experience.
Proposed Solution:
To fix this issue, I will:
Ensure correct game flow: Review the logic that processes the user's input and triggers the AI's move, ensuring that the AI's response is generated and displayed promptly after the user makes a move.
Fix AI decision-making: Investigate the AI's algorithm to ensure it evaluates the game board correctly and generates a valid response based on the current game state. This includes checking for available spaces and making strategic moves.
Debug result determination: Ensure that the game correctly checks for win, loss, or draw conditions after every move (both user and AI) and updates the score accordingly. The game should clearly display who won, who lost, or if the game ended in a draw.
Improve responsiveness: Add feedback mechanisms, such as brief delays or animations, to indicate that the AI is thinking after the user's move, enhancing the overall user experience.
