/program_design_tic_tac_toe

Software engineering involves far more than just writing code. Here in the readme file we see how to think of a even a simple program like tic tac toe , brainstorm its procedure and the requirements and try to write code which is malleable and clean and design a good mental schema of this game.

Tic Tac Toe in Javascript

  1. We start the game.

  2. There are two players X and O [rules]

  3. Let's say we store their names.

  4. X plays first [rule]

  5. They mark their spot :

    X _ _

    display this output and validate whether the marking is in 3x3 grid when ui has a button it is easy to limit but when designing api for a program you are gonna receive info from perhaps another program so we have to limit the user to specific symbols

  6. O, plays: X _ _ _ O _

  7. The game continues until one of this things happen :

  8. X wins or 0 wins(each row,column,diagonal has same symbol of either o or x)

  9. draw the grid is full nine turns are over ie. tie

  10. more moves are left

so when we think of the actions there are some emerging requirements:

  1. Store player names
  2. turn is gonna cycle between players so currentPlayer, nextPlayer
  3. store the board (display it to ig)
  4. Game orchestration (something to stimulate turn by turn game)
