Adding the Tic-Tac-Toe app to a World

 


 

What is Tic-Tac-Toe?

Tic-Tac-Toe is a classic two person sidewalk chalk game in SchoolSpace. Players take turns marking either an 'X' or an 'O' in empty squares. The objective is to be the first to create a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of three of your marks.

Playing Tic-Tac-Toe

Everyone can play Tic-Tac-Toe! Two players are needed to start the game.

To Play Tic-Tac-Toe:
  1. Click either the 'X' or 'O' and have your opponent click the other. After both players click an option, the game will start.

  3. The game ends when one player wins by having three in a row or all spaces in the board are filled.

  4. Click an area in the world to drop the Tic-Tac-Toe app in that location. 
    • Tip: Place a darker background asset and then place Tic-Tac-Toe on top of this asset. This will make the board easier to see. Search the Asset Library for 'TicTacToe blacktop' for the perfect background!
    • Tip: Place multiple Tic-Tac-Toe apps in your world so multiple pairs of students can play at the same time. The 'TicTacToe blacktop' asset is larger enough for two Tic-Tac-Toe apps.

More Tips:

  • If your Tic-Tac-Toe app is not visible after dropping the Tic-Tac-Toe app scene, it may be hidden behind a bottom layer asset. While in Builder Mode, click the asset hiding your Tic-Tac-Toe app and go to Configuration → Layers → Send to Back.

  • It's easy to move a Tic-Tac-Toe app to a new spot! While in Builder Mode, move the 'Reset' button asset to the new location. Then exit Builder Mode and click the 'Reset' button. The old grid will disappear and a new grid will generate above the 'Reset' button in a new location.
