A simple web app to play Tic Tac Toe against a dummy computer opponent.
- Play a game of Tic Tac Toe on a 3x3 board.
- Start a new game at any time with an option to go first or after the computer opponent.
- Computer opponent's AI is simple and chooses squares at random (except when going first, then center tile is always picked).
- Game data persists to user's http session.
- For sake of simplicity web app does not come with a test suite or ability to persist data to a database.
- App has been designed to render each time through a full page refresh (also in the name of simplicity).
- Player can leave the game and come back later to finish it (as long as his session persists).
