Tic Tac Rust

A Tic tac toe game manager built in rust and packaged to npm as a WebAssembly wasm-pack package

What is Tic Tac Toe

see Wikipedia

Tic-tac-toe (American English), noughts and crosses (British English), or Xs and Os is a paper-and-pencil game for two players, X and O, who take turns marking the spaces in a 3×3 grid. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game.

Installation

1. $ npm install tic-tac-rust
2. In your js/ts:

const { State } = await import('tic-tac-rust');

Usage

Creating a new game state

 const gameState = State.new(difficulty);
// difficulty is 0 (Easy), 1 (Normal) or 2 (Computer will be unbeatable)

Updating the board

gameState.update_board(index, character)
// index is 0 - 8 starting top left, character is 'x', 'o' or '0'

Checking for win/loss/tie

You can check for a win or a loss using the is_win function:

const xWon = gameState.is_win('x'); // xWon would be true if x won

const oWon = gameState.is_win('o'); // oWon would be true if o won

or check for a tie:

const isTie = gameState.is_tie() // isTie is true if it is a tie

Ask for computer's next move

This is based on the difficulty the state was created using

const index = gameState.next_move(x_or_o) 
// x_or_o is 'x' if computer is 'x' and 'o' if computer is 'o'

Contribution

This was a quick side project I did to while learning WebAssembly (This will Soon be on my personal site!). If anyone ends up using it and wants to contribute, feel free to create a PR :grin:
