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.

Global variables
// here we define variables

Can you change this program so # of players = 0 and the computer can learn "the only way to win is not to play" -- a reference to the 1983 movie War Games?

Console.WriteLine("Player {0} has won", (player % 2) + 1); can you please tell me what does the {0} stand for and how does it change if its 1 or 0?

Hi, once a player has won it would be nice if console clears itself and restarts game, how can we do this?
