ReacTacToe

Why

Full disclosure: I hate tic tac toe. I never found the game interesting, and people seemed to want to play it again and again. One game, people! This is not riveting enough to carry me through scores of rounds.

I never understood why it was so popular for part of learning how to program and just ignored it. No way could naughts and crosses keep me interested between git init and the final push. So I was wrong. The point is that winning combo check. Now that was fun. And who said I had to stick with Xs and Os? Changed that up, too, which became its own challenge.

So here I am: a girl (very old one at that) standing before you and admitting that this was so fun to make for design and algorithmofun.

What

Tic Tac Toe or Naughts and Crosses or Whole Egg and Splats A basic tic tac toe game (can there be anything but a basic version of this?) but with O-ish and X-ish images instead of X and O.

But what about

Local storage? Not this time. Let's be honest, by the time I finished the game functionality, I wanted to move on and didn't see myself caring about who won when I was just playing by myself.

Different images? Now that's worth returning for, for me. Perhaps later let the player pick a theme: fried & whole egg, dogs & cats, fish & hook with worm ... Maybe.
