IBCS1 - 1415 - January

Monday - Friday (1/26/15 - 1/30/15)

Agenda:

• Complete 2-player Tic-Tac-Toe
• 1-player Tic-Tac-Toe
  • Edit drawShape() so that you do not use the turn variable anymore
    1. Check valid move
    2. If so, then player moves
    3. Check for win/tie
    4. Computer automatically moves (see functions below)
    5. Check for win/tie
  • Easy Computer
    1. Create a new function named computerMove(board), which takes the board as a parameter. It will return a list [row, col] where the computer will move
    2. Inside the function, generate a random row number and a random col number. If the [row][col] location is empty, then you can return it [row, col]
    3. If the [row][col] is not empty, then you should have a while loop that constantly generate new random numbers while the [row][col] location is non-empty
  • Hard Computer
    1. Create multiple functions to analyze the board (e.g. checkRows(), checkCols(), checkDiags()) that looks for two in a line
    2. If there's two in a line, then return the location of the empty slot
    3. In case there are no two in a line, then return None

Wednesday - Friday (1/21/15 - 1/23/15)

• Complete and demo the graphical Tic-Tac-Toe

Tuesday - Friday (1/13/15 - 1/16/15)

Agenda:

• Complete and demo the console-based Tic-Tac-Toe

Friday - Monday (1/9/15 - 1/12/15)

Agenda:

• Tic-Tac-Toe board review
• Complete the console text-based version of Tic-Tac-Toe
• You will need to implement the following functions:
• checkWin()
  • Checks to see if there is a winner (3 lined up Xs or Os). Returns “X” if X wins, “O” if O wins, and “-” if there is still no winner
    • Checks the 3 rows
    • Checks the 3 columns
    • Checks the 2 diagonals
• checkFull()
  • Checks to see if every element in board[][] has been filled
  • Return False if any of the elements in board[][] are equal to dash ("-")
  • Return True if every element in board[][] is not equal to dash ("-")
  • HINT: Instead of checking if the board[][] is full, check if it is NOT full
