ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW & PHILOSOPHY

Tic-Tac-Toe is an engaging browser game designed with a clean cyber-arcade visual aesthetic. Engineered in vanilla JavaScript ES6+ without heavy frameworks, the game executes an 8-vector winning evaluation matrix across horizontal rows, vertical columns, and diagonals after every turn, providing immediate visual victory strikes, match telemetry, and score persistence.

A responsive web game built with Vanilla JavaScript, modern CSS Grid, and dynamic state evaluation, featuring two-player local multiplayer, tie detection, and round history tracking.
