Tic-Tac-Toe

We built a tic-tac-toe game on the command line where two human players can play against each other and the board is displayed in between turns.

Tic-tac-toe is a game for two players, X and O, who take turns marking the spaces in a 3×3 grid. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a diagonal, horizontal, or vertical row is the winner.

Built With

• Ruby
• Rspec

Getting Started

To get a local copy run the following steps:

• Copy this link
• Open your terminal or command line
• Run "git clone Paste this link"

How to set up tests

• Boot up your terminal and punch in "gem install rspec" to install RSpec
• You can verify your version of RSpec with "rspec --version"
• cd into project directory "Tic-Tac-Toe" and type "rspec --init" to initialize RSpec within the project
• This will generate two files, ".rspec" and "spec/spec_helper.rb"
• You can create the ruby test file inside the spec directory (eg: logic_spec.rb, player_spec.rb)

How to run tests

• You can simply run "rspec" in the terminal by cd into the directory in order torun the tests
• You can also run "rspec file-path" for the particular file you want to test from the directory
• You can run "rubocop" inorder to check the linter errors

How to play "Tic-Tac-Toe"

• This game can be played between any two people.
• Run "ruby main.rb" in your terminal
• Initially, it will be asked to enter your names (for player 1 and player 2)
• You can enter minimum two characters of your name to move forward
• The first player will play with '❌' and the other with '⭕️'
• It will be player turnwise, Player 1 goes first, then Player 2, then again Player 1, likewise until you reach the following condition
• For winning this game, one has to create a row/column/diagonal of three '❌'s or '⭕️'s first
• If no one will be able to make so, it will be a tie and will ask for continuing another match or quit the game

Tip: If you're going first, then the best move you can make is to move into the center. This will maximize your chances of winning
