Tic-Tac-Toe for iOS

(last updated: Oct 18, 2015)

This is a simple Tic Tac Toe game created in Swift, the iOS programming language. Swift was designed and launched by Apple Inc. in 2014. The language is based on Objective-C.

Game Features: There is a single and multi-player state. The game is fully functional and stable at 60fps on an iPhone 5s/6. The game has simple animations using the “Spring” animation library. In singleplayer the player goes up against the simple A.I. (a Tic Tac Toe algorithm).

Design

All the user interface elements were designed by Ben Emdon in Sketch for OS X. Rounded edges and minimalistic colour sets were used to keep the app as simple and intuitive as possible.

Implementation

For the Tic Tac Toe game the following technologies were used:

• Xcode with storyBoard to visually design the app elements
• Swift programming language with Apples UIKit framework for app development
• Meng To’s Spring animation library

Mac:

• Download and unarchive
• Currently Swift 2.0 runs runs in Xcode 7.0
• Tested on iPhone 5 and 6s
