Tic Tac Toe Game in C#

This article provides a sample TIC TAC TOE 2 player game in C#.

Introduction

Tic Tac Toe is a simple game that, if played optimally by both the players, will always result in a tie. However, many players (especially the younger children) still enjoy it, and Tic Tac Toe can be made significantly more complex by increasing the size of the board.

It is a two player game. The goal of Tic Tac Toe is to be the first player to get three in a row on a 3x3 grid, or you can increase the number of boards.

Form load event

//Here form will be loaded like a program load in to memory

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
