Tic-Tac-Toe in Java deliberately over-engineered to apply features of Java introduced over time.

Developed to pair with the ongoing blog post: [Road to JDK 25 - Over-Engineering Tic-Tac-Toe](https://thelifeof.briancorbin.xyz/Library/03-Resources/Road-to-JDK-25---Over-Engineering-Tic-Tac-Toe!) also serialized to Medium @ [Road to JDK 25 - Over-Engineering Tic-Tac-Toe On Medium](https://briancorbinxyz.medium.com/list/road-to-jdk-25-d0f656f66a8f)

### Quick Start

- To run the single game application, use the following command: `./gradlew run`

- If you don't have Java 23 installed on your system you can install it first with [SDKMAN](https://sdkman.io/):

```bash
curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

sdk install java 23-tem

./gradlew run
```
