Tic Tac Toe is a simple turn-based Web Game where two players play against each other. Each player tries to win the game checking 3 consecutive cells on the board. Valid rows are horizontal, vertical, diagonal.

The game is still in its infancy, since it was developed in a few hours just for a take home test. No real server-side logic is implemented yet (beside reading socket messages from the client); The current game logic at the moment is still in the client and will be ported to the server (the Server will receive moves and then decide if a winning move has occurred).

This game (still in early development) serves the purpose of showing how to implemenent simple turn-based realtime games with Backbone, Node.js and Socket.IO.

The only behaviour implemented at the current time is:

• the board rendering logic
• the player "1" (X) behaviour (placing a move)
• the logic to detect if a winning move has been made

• jQuery
• Backbone (0.9.10)
• Node.js (for the server)
• Express
• Socket.IO
• Grunt (building tool)

• cd into the client folder and run npm

• cd into the server folder; compile and run the server

• start a browser and go to http://localhost:3000
