This a recreation of the classic Tic-Tac-Toe using Ruby. The project is meant to reinforce Object Oriented Programing (OOP) concepts. You can learn more about the game HERE.
Our game is a command line game so you need to be in a terminal, or terminal like environment, to run it.
The game starts by taking in the names of 2 players and by default, assigns the marker, "X" to the 1st player. The board is a 3 X 3 grid and each player takes turn placing markers on the board, starting with the first player. the cycle continues until a player wins or there’s a tie game There are 8 winning combinations: Top row, Middle row, Bottom row, Left column, Middle column, Right column, Left diagonal, and Right diagonal There’s a draw/tie when the entire board is filled with X’s and O’s but no winning combinations can be found
- Players take turns playing
- 1st turn — Player 1
- Player 1 places their token (X) in only 1 square of their choice
- 2nd turn — Player 2
- A player can't play more than once during a turn.
- A player can't play in an already taken space.
- For every turn, each player will choose a numbers from 1 to 9
- Players can only choose the numbers from the board (from 1 to 9)
- Players cannot enter Alphabet or duplicate number from the board
- Once a winning sequence is reached, the game is over regardless of how many turns have passed
- Once the board is full, game is over.
In order to run the game, you'll need to have ruby installed locally. Check HERE to learn how to install ruby.
You will then have to Clone or download this repo. You can use git clone https://github.com/Tekcoder/Tic-Tac-Toe.git on the terminal if you have git installed or just download it from github.
Next, navigate the directory. The directory has the following structure:
- A bin folder that holds the
main.rbfile. - A lib folder that holds
manager.rbandplayer.rb - A LICENSE.md and a README.md file.
To run the game, first verify that you have ruby installed by running ruby -v or ruby --version you should see something like ruby 2.6.5p114 (2019-10-01 revision 67812) [x64-mingw32], based on your version and OS.
Next run ruby bin/main.rb. This command tell ruby to run our main.rb file. You should be greated with the game interface.
