Tic Tac Toe Online
The classic, rebuilt with one twist — draws are impossible. Play the AI, pass-and-play, or invite a friend online.
Role: Game design, development. Stack: React, Node.js, Socket.IO.
The challenge
Tic tac toe between two careful players always ends in a draw, which makes it boring fast. How do you keep the simplest game in the world exciting?
The solution
An “always a winner” mechanic that strategically clears moves when a draw becomes likely, so every match has a result. Around it: an AI opponent with adjustable difficulty, local pass-and-play, real-time private rooms with invite codes, and stats that track wins and losses over time.
Outcome
- No-draw mechanic — every game ends with a winner
- AI opponent with adjustable difficulty
- Real-time online rooms with invite codes
- Win, loss and performance statistics
