Problem

Design a game like tic tac toe.

Clarify the game rules, API and client/server responsibilities, state management, move validation, and how you would support a computer opponent. Discuss how the design would change if the game became a heavily used online service. If you introduce machine learning for move selection, explain the model, training data, serving path, evaluation, and fallback behavior.
