1. Tic-Tac-Toe Game

A classic Tic-Tac-Toe game where you can play against the computer. The computer makes random moves.

How to Compile

To compile the program, use a C compiler like GCC:

gcc -Wall TicTacToe.c -o tictactoe

How to Run

Execute the compiled file from your terminal:

./tictactoe

Usage

• The board is a 3x3 grid.
• You play as 'X' and the computer plays as 'O'.
• When prompted, enter the row number (1-3) and then the column number (1-3) to place your mark.
• The game ends when a player gets three in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), or when the board is full (a tie).
• After each game, you'll be asked if you want to play again.

2. Unit Converter

A simple command-line tool to convert units for temperature, currency, and mass.

How to Compile

gcc -Wall unit_converter.c -o converter

How to Run

./converter

Usage

1. Select a category:
   • T for Temperature
   • C for Currency
   • M for Mass
2. Select a conversion type:
   • Temperature: 1 for Celsius to Fahrenheit, 2 for Fahrenheit to Celsius.
   • Currency: 1 for EUR to USD, 2 for EUR to GBP, 3 for EUR to CNY.

2. Enter a name for your AI opponent.
3. Choose your move by typing:

Areas For Improvement

• Tic-Tac-Toe: Implement a more challenging AI instead of random moves.
• Unit Converter: Add more conversion categories (e.g., data storage, speed) and allow for reverse conversions (e.g., USD to EUR).
• Rock, Paper, Scissors: Allow the user to set the winning score instead of a fixed 10 points.
• New Projects: Add other classic console games like Hangman or a number guessing game.
