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 uses the first letter of their names as their player marker on the board. The board is a 3 X 3 grid and each player takes turn placing markers on the board, starting with the first player. The game ends if any player has a straight set of 3 characters horizontal, vertical or diagonal or if the board is full.
- A player can't play more than once during a turn.
- A player can't play in an already taken space.
- 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/ibrolive/oop.git on the terminal if you have git installed or just download it from github.
Next, navigate the directory cd oop. The directory has the following structure:
- An assets folder that holds the images used in the README file.
- A bin folder that holds the
main.rbfile. - A lib folder that holds
modulesandclasses:board.rb,game_logic.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 2.6.0p0 (2018-12-25 revision 66547) [x86_64-linux], based on your version and OS.
Next run ruby bin/main.rb or cd bin; ruby main.rb. This command tells ruby to run our main.rb file. You should be greeted with the game interface.
