Tic Tac Toe Game in React.js with Modern UI and final year projects

Project Overview

This is a modern and interactive Tic Tac Toe game built using React.js and Vite. It allows two players to play alternately with symbols ‘X’ and ‘O on a 3×3 grid. The final year projects win, draw, and provide an option to restart instantly. With its responsive, glassy UI, glowing animations, and smooth transitions, it offers an enjoyable user experience.
