Tic Tac Toe

Block 1 code (our board looks like this).

Block 4 code

Board group:

• check game status (setup the board differently each time)
• calling makeXMove (call with coordinates)
• Running the TicTacToe applet. It will allow you to draw your board (experiment with different xo combinations).

AI Group:

• Create a new method called Tester that will
  • Have a Board and initialize it. (in Board (or AI), set the board up differently for different outcomes)
  • Call board.printBoard()
  • Call your move method
  • Call board.printBoard() [to see effect of the move method]

TicTacToe Group:

• You will need to write some methods for Board and AI to get it to work
  • In AI, write a method that will randomly place an O anywhere on the board
  • In Board write the following
    • gamestatus -> so if the board is full returns win or loss or tie randomly, if not full returns unfinished
    • drawBoard -> use drawString to quickly draw a simply board (grid not necessary)
    • makeXMove -> so that it places an x randomly.
