dami - Jun 17 - - Dev Community

This is a submission for the Twilio Challenge

What I Built

I built an interactive AI-powered game of Tic-Tac-Toe called "Can You Beat Gemini?" This project allows players to test their Tic-Tac-Toe skills against Gemini AI, providing a challenging and fun experience.

Features

AI Integration: The game uses the Gemini AI model to analyse the game state and predict the best possible moves to challenge the player effectively.

Real-Time Interaction: Players interact with the game through digits (1-9). The game captures the player's move and processes it. The AI then responds with its move. This interaction is facilitated using Twilio's Programmable Voice capabilities, making the gameplay seamless and engaging.

Dynamic Game Board: The game state is visually represented, updating in real-time as moves are made. This ensures players can keep track of their and the AI's moves.
