TicTacToe Demo

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate a Kotlin-based desktop application using Jetpack Compose for the user interface. It includes a server component to manage game logic and a client component to interact with the server, specifically for a Tic-Tac-Toe game.

Functionality

• Multiplayer network gameplay (supports a 3x3 grid for Tic-Tac-Toe games).
• Server and client components for managing game logic and user interactions.
