Inspiration I was inspired to create a simple and enjoyable game that could be played in the browser using basic web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Tic Tac Toe is a classic game that many people are familiar with, making it a great choice for a fun project.
What it does The Tic Tac Toe game allows two players to take turns marking spaces on a 3x3 grid. The goal is to be the first to mark three consecutive spaces either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
How I built it I built the Tic Tac Toe game using HTML for the structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for the game logic. The HTML file contains the game board and elements for displaying the current player's turn and a restart button. The CSS file styles the game board and adds visual enhancements, while the JavaScript file handles the game logic, including checking for a winner and updating the game state.
Challenges I ran into One challenge I faced was implementing the logic to check for a winner. I had to figure out how to iterate over the winning combinations and check if the current player had marked all three spaces in any of them. Another challenge was handling the restart functionality, ensuring that the game board and state were properly reset.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of I'm proud of successfully implementing the game logic and creating a functional Tic Tac Toe game that can be played in the browser. It was satisfying to see the game come together and work as intended.
What I learned Through this project, I learned more about DOM manipulation in JavaScript, particularly how to update elements on the page based on user interaction. I also gained experience in structuring a simple web application and managing game state.
What's next for Track your game In the future, I plan to add additional features to the game, such as a scoreboard to keep track of wins for each player and the ability to play against a computer AI. I also want to improve the overall user interface and add animations to make the game more visually appealing.
