TIC-TAC-TOE API

This api plays the game called tic-tac-toe in the US, and called naughts and crosses in some countries. Instructions for how to play the game are here if you’ve never played before: http://www.exploratorium.edu/brain_explorer/tictactoe.html

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

• Just clone this repository by typing: https://github.com/JoyLubega/tic-tac-toe.git
• Switch to project directory: cd tic-tac-toe
• Install project requirements using python pip. But wait, you have to have some stuff before you get to this point. So these are:

Prerequisites

• Python3.6 and above
• Python virtual environment Just type:

python -V

in your terminal and if its not greater than or equal to 3.6, you're not in big trouble, there are tons of tutorials to get up up and running with these. Just grub one then come back when done.

Installing

Now, you have python3 and a way of running a virtual environment. Lets set up the project environment.(remember we're still in the app directory)

1. Create your virtual environment. Usually, without any wrappers:

python -m venv env

2. Start your virtual environment:

source env/bin/activate

3. Install the project requirements specified in the requirements.txt file. Usually,

pip install -r requirements.txt

This is enough to get you started. You can now run the api using:

python run.py

Running the tests

Easy, just: nosetests --with-coverage

API Endpoints

You can use postman or even curl to reach out to the following api endpoints:

URL Endpoint	HTTP Request	Resource Accessed	Access Type
