Tic Tac Toe: Player vs. Player

Exercise

For this assignment, you will be bringing Tic Tac Toe to life on your own.

Requirements:

Do worry about:

  1. Alternating turns: After a player has placed down an X, the next tap must be an O.
  2. Player turns: Your layout must include a label to display whose turn it is and another label to keep count of the wins.
  3. New game: You must include a reset button. This resets the game, of course.
  4. Win condition checking: a game is over when a player has marked 3-in-a-row. No other moves should be allowed until the reset button is tapped.

Don't worry about:

  1. Don't worry too much about layout at the moment. You'll learn how to make your app much prettier in a later project. See below for our expectations.
Magic in Action Hooray!
Smooth moves Yay

Alternatively, you can add images to your blue Assets.xcassets folder in the Project Navigator sidebar in case you're into that.

Hints:

  1. You should use buttons for each square.
  2. There is probably an easier way to do things. Instead of control-dragging 9 different outlets and actions to your ViewController, you can code your logic to take in which button is clicked. Or you can do 9 drags, whatever you want.
  3. You can add inspectable properties if you sub-class a button-- particular IBInspectable to keep track of rows and cols. This will help you keep track of which button is clicked.

  1. Alternatively, you can tag your buttons within the attributes inspector. screenshot

The git side of things

  1. Fork this repo if you haven't already.
  2. Clone your own fork to your local project directory in Terminal. 
    git clone https://github.com/YOURNAMEHERE/AC-iOS-tictactoe.git
  3. At this point you should be able to open the project in that folder and have a working table showing titles and dates. Work on the assignment and when you're done when you're done commit inside XCode or on the Terminal command line and then run the below. That will push your changes up to that branch on your fork. 
    git add .
git commit -am "I made these changes"
git push origin master
  4. Feel free to commit early and often as a "checkpoint" of sorts to save your work.
  5. Make a pull request from your fork to C4Q/master at the Github site once you're done.
  6. Take a breather. We did it, Reddit!

Looking for a stretch?

  1. Create a game mode where the user can play against the computer. The user can select an option to "Play the Computer," which will make the user x and the computer o. After each move by the user, the computer will randomly pick an open space to put their o.
  2. Add some additional "Play the Computer" features: let the user decide who goes first, let the user decide which option they want to be (x or o), keep track of wins and losses against the computer.

Big stretch!!!!

  1. Tic Tac Toe is a solved game. A solved game is one where the best possible move at any point can be determined. Implement the best possible move for the Computer's turns to make your game super-hard.
