Discussion

The technologies I used to build this app are: HTML, CSS, React, Jest, and Enzyme. I used create-react-app to generate the scaffolding for this app.

Requirements

Build a two player tic tac toe app where a game is played by alternating clicks until the game is won by X, O or is a tie.

I added a message that displays which player's turn it is based on the number of turns taken. The message also displays whether a player has won or if there is a tie.

Include a reset button so that when a game ends, the board can be cleared and a new game can begin.

The reset button calls a method _resetBoard() which calls another method _getInitialState() to reset the board.

Bonuses!

Make the board fully responsive

I used the vmin unit of measure to make the width, height, and border of the squares fully responsive.

Allow for more than 1 game to be played simultaneously

I have a state within the App that keeps track of the number of boards. Because each board also has its own state, gameplay across multiple boards can happen simultaneously without interference.
