Work in pairs on this lab.

Implementing a game of Tic-Tac-Toe as a Java GUI

Use Java GUI to implement a game of Tic-Tac-Toe: the user clicks on squares, the computer responds with a random move. Ideally when someone wins, there should be some message displayed. Illegal moves (clicking on a square already taken) should not be allowed. Ideally an error message should be displayed in the GUI.

Implementation suggestions:

Make sure you follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) approach.

• In the model use 2-dimensional array to keep track of which squares have marks on them.
• Use appropriate Java elements for your view and choose a good layout. Run your program often (after every change).
• Use listeners as the controller part. You need to define one class that extends ActionListener, associate a new instance of the listener with every button, and make sure that you pass information to the constructor that tells the listener which button it is associated with.
• Note that you cannot use JUnit for testing graphical components.

Your GUI should compile, run, and implement the basic functionality (including determining the winner).

How to submit
