Completion requirements
Due: Sunday, 9 January 2022, 11:59 PM
This list may be added to, all of your have attempted to solve these in class.. you need to be able to produce solutions on your own and under pressure.
| 1 | Validate y-axis | The Y-Axis needs a presence type and range check added |
| 2 | Type/presence check validation on coordinates | and some for the x-axis too |
| 3 | Stop the overwriting of symbols | Currently you can choose a coordinate that already has a symbol |
| 4 | Check diagonal for win | Currently diagonal lines don't win... change the code so they do |
| 5 | Name the player's go | Have it so the code says it's Bob's turn etc.. |
| 6 | Who is the winner? | The winner isn't named at the moment (just the symbol) add a nice msg naming the winner |
| 7 | Check both players don't have the same name | Having two players with the same name would be a pain.. validate this out |
| 8 | Change the size of the grid | A 4x4 or 5x5 grid would be nice... but it's a surprising amount of work if you have it so 3 in a line wins |
| 9 | Draw scores both players 0.5 points | Draws don't score at the moment. award each player 0.5 for a draw |
| 10 | Play the computer (random validated placing of scores) | Random is fairly easy... a player that follows a strategy is trickier but not impossible |
| 11 | Place the section of code where the players enter their names in a separate procedure, with the appropriate parameters passed-in. | Don't fully factorize the code.. but have a go at a new procedure call EnterPlayerName |
| 12 | Convert Symbol to uppercase automatically if user inputs lowercase x or o | Rather than validate the X O choice just convert it to upper case |
Upload the copy and paste of your code and screenshots of appropriate tests all packaged in an HeAD
