Tic-Tac-Toe

Your classic Tic-Tac-Toe Game! It keeps score, tells you who won, changes player's turn order, and resets the whole game if you want. It's not original, but it looks nice and works well!

Inspiration

Inspiration was from the original tic-tac-toe game!

What it does

This project allows the users to play tic-tac-toe and reset the board, and entire game. A warning pops up before resetting the entire game, just in case you meant to just restart the board and play again.

How we built it

I used code.org's app lab and created a screen with the design of the game, then coded all of the buttons and text boxes.

Challenges we ran into

I haven't used app lab in a while, and I'm used to Java, not Javascript, so figuring out the syntax for some things was a bit different, but I did learn that Javascript is much easier because it doesn't require you to define things as integers, or strings or anything! I also ran into a challenge when counting the number of turns to determine who's turn it was. I originally used a function to update the turn variable, but then realized I called that function too many times and should just update the turn variable separately inside the function that runs when a board square is pressed.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud of being able to create this whole app, even though it was pretty simple. I ran into several challenges but learned through all of them. After finishing the original game play, I added extra features like the play another game button, restart the entire game button, and the player scores. I'm proud I was able to do this in the time I was here and I enjoyed it a lot!

What we learned

I relearned how to program in Javascript, and a learned how much I really like coding and debugging simple projects. I want to use this experience to create my own game someday, and this project helped me learn that I would want to achieve that goal someday!

What's next for Tic-Tac-Toe

Adding a human or robot option! I want to see if I can create an algorithm that the user can play against, if they don't have someone in person. After creating an algorithm, I'd want to see if I can create an east, medium, and hard mode!
