Tic-Tac-Toe
Build a two-player Tic-Tac-Toe game from scratch in modern C++ using only the standard library. You represent the board as a small grid, alternate turns between players, validate moves, and check every win line after each play. A satisfying project for practising arrays, functions, and game logic.

What You'll Build
A console Tic-Tac-Toe game for two players that draws a 3x3 board, accepts numbered moves, rejects illegal placements, and detects wins, blocks, and draws.
Learning Objectives
- Represent a 3x3 grid with a std::array or fixed-size array
- Render the board to std::cout with clear row and column separators
- Validate that a chosen cell is on the board and still empty
- Alternate turns between two players with a tracked current-player value
- Check rows, columns, and diagonals for a winning line
- Detect a full-board draw and end the game cleanly
