Tic Tac Toe - Terminal User Interface (TUI)

• The project was created for educational purposes.
• Based on FTXUI library
• C++20

Note

The application is running on Windows 11 Terminal in the GIF and using Campbell Color Scheme. Keep this in mind if the game looks different in your terminal.

Keys/Mouse

• Escape or 'q' - quit
• Arrows (Left, Right, Up, Down) or Mouse for select
• Enter/Mouse - left click to make a move
• 'X' moves first

How to build

You need a compiler that supports C++20 and CMake (if you use CMakePresets, you will need also Ninja)

git clone github.com/birland/tictactoe
cd tictactoe

You can use IDE or VSCode (with the CMake Tools plugin) to build using CMake and use one of the available CMakePresets. Or use the instructions for the terminal below.

Note

The project uses CPM by default, but you can use the -DUSE_CPM_PACKAGES_ENABLED=OFF flag to disable this and find_package will be used instead.

Terminal: Using ninja

cmake --list-presets
cmake --preset <preset-name>
cmake --build build/

Run executable

./build/<preset-name-folder>/bin/tic-tac-toe

Terminal: Using make

cmake -S . -B build
cd build
make -j8

Run executable

./build/bin/tic-tac-toe
