well, the approach i would take is using a 3x3 array
int array[3][3];
then determine if you want x's or o's to go first. Display the contents of the array in ascii on the screen and ask them where to put their mark
1|2|3
-+-+-
4|5|6
-+-+-
7|8|9
write an algorithm to make the computer think by weighing each open spot and chances that it could win if it placed a mark in the spot. Basicly determine the possible lines you could draw to win.
Also, look at the oponent and determine if they can win next move and place a blocking mark in their path.
That would be the gist of how I would go about designing this.
