Robust Console Tic-Tac-Toe (Java)

A bulletproof, console-based Tic-Tac-Toe game built in Java. The project showcases solid programming practices, focusing on Clean Code, Modularity, and Defensive Programming.

🚀 Key Features & Architectural Highlights

• Defensive Input Validation: Utilizes Regular Expressions ([1-9]) coupled with short-circuit evaluation (||) to prevent system crashes (NumberFormatException) regardless of malicious or accidental user inputs (e.g., characters, symbols, out-of-bounds numbers).
• DRY Principle (Don't Repeat Yourself): Avoided redundant logic for Player 1 and Player 2 by implementing a dynamic, loop-driven turn mechanism using ternary operators.
• High Modularity: Code is decoupled into single-responsibility methods (checkInput, can, win, display) making it highly maintainable and readable.
• Resource Management: Explicitly handles Scanner leaks by ensuring proper closure upon game termination.
