Inspiration
I wanted to build something interactive that user can play with, I'm still learning about game development so I decided to start small and build a game with simple logic and which potential user can engage with relatively easy without the need for instructions.
What it does
Allows two player to play the tic tac toe game online, users get to select which element (X/O) to place and where they will place it by choosing from the provided options.
How we built it
Challenges we ran into
making the game reactive to user input was really hard especially since I'm not using react or other libraries, I also had the issue of keeping the box sizes the same as the user would add input into them, that was also a challenge to do.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is my first time building a game and I did it without watching a YouTube tutorial or anything, So I'm really proud that I can have something be an idea then using code turn that into a real life interactive system. I also got to understand more the different ways you can deal with user input and how to manage data from forms.
What we learned
This was my first try at game development and I learned quite a few thing in term of problem solving during development of the game, and I really had to practice quality over quantity to ensure the game works as expected rather then just works.
What's next for Tic Tac Toe
I will keep adding features to it as I go and I also intend on hosting it on the web so more people can enjoy this beautiful creation. I also intend in adding a winner functionality so that when someone wins the game stops and alerts the players. Keeping scores of the number of wins between the two player would also be great because when people play this game they normally don't play it once so keeping count of the overall winner might help the player keep engaging with the game more.
