tic-tac-toe

Note

The user interface of the game is on the command line ran by the command irb -r file_name.rb if you have ruby installed

Aim of project

This is a simple game of TicTacToe where two players play against each other wil representitive letters of X and O.

the structure of game looks like this below:

The first player to draw their representitive letter (X/O) diagonally, horizontally in any directon 3 times in a row wins

Note

BELOW IS THE PLANNING OF THE PROJECT

Development

I will create the same logic of a game using Object Oriented Programming The program must support Encapsulation and Exception Handling

Structure

• There will be a Class for controlling amount of players and their moves => Players
• There will be a Class for controlling the loop of the game => Game

1. The board will be seperated into rows and columns and one diagonal
2. They will keep track of when one player will win
3. A single round will be played each time

The project is seperated into 2 phases

• Phase 1 => It gets all the info from 2 players needed the image below shows

• Phase 2 => It is the loop of the game, it ends when there is a recognisable winner

Challenges and Solutions

• I had trouble using the loop to control user input

• I had trouble controlling the loop for the game

• I first put the user input outside the loop but then i realised it makes more sense when its inside

move = String.new

until move == 'X' of move == 'O'
    ...
end

The code will run till player puts in X or O

What i learnt

• Turns out you can actually change an element in an array like this: array[i] = value
• Subclasses can also inherit class variables from superclass
• You can use enumarable methods on an if statement

e.g

if array.all? {|el| condition}
  ...
end

the code block runs when if statememt returns true
