Play Tic-Tac-Toe on Github Issues

What I built

I built a GitHub Action that allows you to play games of tic-tac-toe against a computer in the comments section of an issue in your repository. It's completely impractical, but this was the first Github Action that I created from scratch, and the experience taught me a lot and gave me a good base for the next time I have to create a Github Action.

Description

This Action allows you to start a game of tic-tac-toe in the comments section of an issue in your repository. You will be playing against a computer and normal rules apply.

Start by making a comment that says "play tic-taction-toe"

After the game board replies, type "tic-taction toe >>number<<" where number is the cell number in which you want to make a move.

Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)

I wanted to join the contest and wanted to build something simple. I hadn't built an Action from scratch before and just wanted to learn and make something ridiculous.

How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)

I built this using Github Actions. And I learned a lot of things to know about Github Actions, which made the entire process worth it.
