  • Ensure that you're happy with the implemented functionality.
  • Submit your implementation at the latest one day before the interview.
    • We'll review the application so that we can discuss it together.

    • Acceptance criteria finished
      • The score is calculated based on the lowest number of moves combined with the duration of the game. (you don't get points when you lose, and you can assume that the time taken by the computer is negligible) done
      • Only the top 10 scores are kept. done
      • The scores can be tracked in memory, they don't need to be persisted to a data store. done
  • As a player I want to register my name so that others can see who achieved what score.

    • Acceptance criteria
      • The score of the current game is always displayed.
      • The current score is shown in comparison to the top scores.

Given source code

  • In the Trifork - Tic-Tac-Toe zip file you'll find a basic application.
  • The technologies used are:
  • The basic application contains the following elements to get you started:
    • A static index page
    • A CSS file containing the styling for the game
    • A JavaScript file which initializes the game
    • A Spring-MVC RestController handling POST requests to "/executeTurn" containing the following parameters:
      • turn: boolean
      • column: int
      • row: int
  • Feel free to introduce new technologies as part of your implementation:
    • For instance, use Angular for the presentation and client-side components, or use a server-side templating framework like Thymeleaf instead.
  • The application can simply be started from your IDE, or by using the Maven command mvn spring-boot:run
