You need to create a smart TicTacToe game using PHP. Your program
will play against a human, and must be somewhat smart :
- Your program must always make a winning move if it is
possible.
- Your program must always block an opponent from winning if
it is possible.
- Your program must recognize when the game is over.
Your program does not need to incorporate any fancy strategy, but
should just be able to recognize that there is a winning move, or
that it needs to make a move to block an imediate win by an opponent.
It must be possible for many people to be playing tictactoe at the
same time (your progam must be able to keep track of multiple
sessions).
Feel free to use JavaScript to make the game easy to play, or to
provide visual effects - but all the game logic must be coded in
PHP.
Your game must be written in PHP
The user must be able to start a new game whenever they want.
There must be some recognition that the game is over
(the page should tell the user they have won, lost or tied).
It must be possible to win (the game must work correctly).
You must control the appearance (use CSS!)
Feel free to borrow Javascript code you find on the web for
special effects or extra functionality - but you must write all
of the PHP (game functionality) code yourself. Any code that you borrow
must be documented in your HTML document, for example:
<!--
// This code flashes an image - code swipped from www.imageflasher.com/javascript
-->
If you work with a partner, we expect more!
Part of your grade will depend on a brief
meeting with Dave or Sujing. We will ask you to go
over your code with us, and will ask you to make
some minor changes. If we don't think you understand your
own code, you won't get a good grade...
