Playing with JavaScript: Creating Tic Tac Toe
Hello, HaWkers! Everything calm?
Today we are going to break new ground in programming, creating a classic tic-tac-toe game using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Yes, that's right! In addition to learning fundamental programming concepts, you will also have a lot of fun during the process.
Basic Structure
First, we will create a basic HTML structure for our board. To do this, we will use a table with 3 rows and 3 columns.
<table id="table"> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr></table>Adding logic with JavaScript
Now that we have our HTML structure, we can start adding the game logic with JavaScript. First, let's create a function to handle the user's click on the cell.
function handleCellClick(event) { // Your game logic here}Now, we need to add a click event to each cell on the board.
const cells = document.querySelectorAll('#board td');cells.forEach(cell => { cell.addEventListener('click', handleCellClick);});Building game logic
Now that we have our structure and click events ready, we can start building the game logic. To do this, we need to keep track of which player is playing and check if any player has won after each play.
This is an interesting challenge that allows you to explore various programming concepts, such as loops, arrays and conditionals. Do your best to implement it, and if you encounter difficulties, don't hesitate to seek help online or ask your colleagues.
Finishing
That was an overview of how you can start building a tic-tac-toe game with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. If you're still a beginner, this can be a great way to practice your skills while having fun. And remember: practice is the key to improvement!
