1. This is a two player (X's and O'x) board game.

2. The game board is a 3 X 3 grid, where each location can hold either and 'X' an 'O' or a space (empty) Note: we will linearize the grid and refer to the locations 1-9, for conveyance.

3. The players take turns placing their mark into one of the empty locations in the grid.

4. The game won when a player has their mark in all three locations of any row, column, or diagonal.

5.- The game can also reach a stalemate: neither player has won (by above criteria) however all there are no more empty locations in the grid.

outline:

1. Create a MATLAB Script.m file

A) Establish variable(s) to represent the nine board locations

B)Create the game loop

i. Display the current state of the board - using separate displayboad function

ii) get a "valid" move location - note this can only be an empty location

iii) Modify the board variable(s)

iv) check for a win and report if so - game must end

v) Check for a stalemate - game must end

2. Create a MATLAB funciton.m file

A) Establish its name (displayboard), input(s), and output (there really is not any)

B) Write the necessary MATLAB commands to display the Tic-Tac-Toe board, using the give inputs.

3. Make sure to test your script and function when they are done.

NOTE: Keep track of the total number of moves, for an easy stalemate detection. Your location choice user-validation loop must also not accept any location that is not currently empty.
