Tic-tac-toe (or Noughts and crosses, Xs and Os) is a fun game that requires a paper-and-pencil and an opponent. Its a two players game i.e X and O, where each player attempts to place three of their markers (usually an X or an O) in a line on a 3x3 grid.The player who succeeds in placing three respective marks first in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game.

EditMethod 6 of 8: Create findVertWin() method
-
1public void findVertWin(){ if(btn_1.getText().equals(btn_4.getText()) &&btn_4.getText().equals(btn_7.getText())&& btn_1.getText().equals("")==false ) win=true; else if(btn_2.getText().equals(btn_5.getText()) &&btn_5.getText().equals(btn_8.getText())&& btn_2.getText().equals("")==false ) win=true; else if(btn_3.getText().equals(btn_6.getText()) &&btn_6.getText().equals(btn_9.getText())&& btn_3.getText().equals("")==false ) win=true; }
EditMethod 7 of 8: Create findDiaWin() method

1public void findDiaWin(){ if(btn_1.getText().equals(btn_5.getText()) &&btn_5.getText().equals(btn_9.getText())&& btn_1.getText().equals("")==false ) win=true; else if(btn_3.getText().equals(btn_5.getText()) &&btn_5.getText().equals(btn_7.getText())&& btn_3.getText().equals("")==false ) win=true; }
EditMethod 8 of 8: Create Reset() method
-
1public void reset(){ win=false; turns=0; btn_1.setText(""); btn_1.setEnabled(true); btn_2.setText(""); btn_2.setEnabled(true); btn_3.setText(""); btn_3.setEnabled(true); btn_4.setText(""); btn_4.setEnabled(true); btn_5.setText(""); btn_5.setEnabled(true); btn_6.setText(""); btn_6.setEnabled(true); btn_7.setText(""); btn_7.setEnabled(true); btn_8.setText(""); btn_8.setEnabled(true); btn_9.setText(""); btn_9.setEnabled(true);
