Tic Tac Toe

Simple project that allows a special Tic Tac Toe game from the command line. The size of the grid can be configured (between 3x3 and 10x10). It can be played by three people, one of them is an AI robot. Each of them can use the default symbols although they can be customized. The first turn is random!

Requirements

The only requirement for this application is JDK 8.

Execution

How to run it? Easy. Execute this instruction in the root of the project.

In *nix/bash environments:

./gradlew execute

In Windows:

gradlew execute

Configuration

The game can be customized. For that you could use the game.properties file located inside the src/main/resources folder in this project. You can configure the following properties (both are optional):

• size: number - It will determine the size of the game grid. Since it is a square, we just need an integer number. If number goes beyond the boundaries (3-10) it will use default.
• symbols: letter,letter,letter - They are the symbols that will be used by the players.

Example of configuration:

size=5
symbols=A,B,C

You can use a configuration file outside the project. For that you need to pass its absolute path as argument of the application when starting.

Testing

In order to run the tests inside the application:

./gradlew test

If coverage is interesting, is it anything better than mutation testing?

./gradlew pitest

(Check the build/reports/pitest/index.html file to see the results).
