How to play

Download the repository as a .zip file by going to "Clone or download" near the top right of the page. Once unzipped, go to the Builds folder and there will be both a Mac or a Windows version of the application.

Mac

As mentioned before, you must download the repository. Once you unzip it, just navigate to the "Builds" folder and double-click "Mac-FrancosTicTacToe" and you'll be ready to go!

Windows

Still need to figure out how to build :' (

Features

The project was originally going to stop after I made a working game, but I thought why not add some more?

Here's a list of some of the things I created after making the basic game functionality. At the end of this section are improvements I could make if I pick this project back up again.

AI

• Hard(Implements a MinMax Algorithm and Alpha Beta Pruning to control AI that either wins or ties (never loses))
• Easy(Picks random square)

Audio

• Background Music
• SFX (Clicking)

UI

• Menus (a lot)
  • Main menu
  • Options
  • Opponent Picking
  • AI Difficulty
• Volume Sliders (Implementing Unity's Audio Mixers)

Future Improvements

If I pick up this project again, here's a list of some of the things I'd improve on.

• Better UI (could look prettier)
  • Scene transitions
  • Another intro screen
• More SFX (victory/lose noise)
• AI
  • Allow Player X to be an AI (functionality added already)
  • AI vs AI

Basic Functionality - InfoGamer

Majority of the base functionality was created with the help of InfoGamer and their videos walking through creating a basic tic-tac-toe UI

Menu and Volume Control - Brackeys

The design of the menu (although very generic) was inspired by Brackey's videos.

Music - Club Penguin

The background music comes from Club Penguin OST - Coffee Shop

AI(MinMax Algorithm) - Paul N. Hilfinger

The MinMax Algorithm with Alpha-Beta Pruning code was heavily inspired by code I wrote for one of my courses in UC Berkeley, Professor Hilfinger's CS61B

Afterthoughts

This project was a great introduction to C#, Unity, and game developing in general! Now that I finished my project, I realize not only how doable making a game is, but how hard it is! For such a simple game like tic-tac-toe took a bunch of days creating and improving. I definitely wish I planned all the features I was going to add beforehand so I wouldn't have had to constantly go back and change things. And to think this is a game with no movement. After watching tons of videos on Unity and game developing, especially when I got distracted watching how to create Flappy Bird and parallax effect backgrounds, I definitely want to learn and make some more!

Also I'll definitely use branches next time!
