+# Tic-Tac-Toe
+
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+During the summer between 3rd grade and 4th grade my parents sent me to "baseball camp."
+
+This was because despite playing baseball for three years at that point
+I had only hit the ball twice[^tball]. I was often put in the left outfield position
+where I would pick dandelions. Being literally "left out" made me sad
+but the whole display made my father proud.
+
+Instead of applying myself and learning how to play baseball I had a notebook
+where I wrote out all the different games of tic-tac-toe determined to "crack the code"
+and never lose again. I thought I was being so smart and, in my defense, so did the
+other children. A loser, yes - but smart.
+
+Even today when I go to dinner with my siblings or parents we ask for the kids'
+menu and crayons over 50% of the time. We then
+play at least one game of tic-tac-toe at the table of a nice Italian restraunt[^not].
+
+
+## Your Goal
+
+Make a program that lets you play [tic-tac-toe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic-tac-toe) against the computer.
+
+Make sure that the player is not allowed to make invalid moves, that the computer
+does not make invalid moves, and that the game will not crash on unexpected
+input from the player.
+
+## Future Goals
+
+When you learn enough to do the following, come back to this project and expand it.
+
+* Implement a few different options for the AI including "pick a valid move at random".
+* Allow for setting up simulated matches between the different AIs
+* Expand the game to have the option to play "[ultimate tic-tac-toe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tic-tac-toe)."[^better]
+* Make the program have a graphical interface and let people click to make a move.
+* Allow for playing with other players over the internet.

+
+[^not]: I am not Italian.
+
+[^better]: Ultimate tic-tac-toe is actually a much better game.
