how do you make a program work graphically instead of working with the console

So I didn't know how to put this across but what I am trying to ask is how do you make something like lets say a tic tac toe program go from only printing out to a console e.g console asks where would you like to place your X and you type top right. Too actually having a tic toe toe grid graphically and you could drag a X to the top right and then the program would understand that the same as if you typed into the console, "top right" like before.
