This simple game tries to solve the problem of a game that often end in a lock. It does so by providing the players with Xs and Os with superpowers. With great powers come possible disadvantages. For example the X- can delete an O already on the board, but because the effect contains a random element, it is just as likely to remove one of your own pieces. Therefore, a player must manage risk, in addition to other normal strategies.



The game is a two player game at the moment and the interface is very simple. But it works. A few minor bugs I haven't figured how fix don't affect the gameplay. An example is that the "Player 'x' has won the game" alert fires off before the game piece is drawn on the board. I have also hard coded the coordinates for game winning checks. I am sure there is an easier (algorithmic) way of doing that.

      This simple game tries to solve the problem of a game that often end in a lock. It does so by providing the players with Xs and Os with superpowers. With great powers come possible disadvantages. For example the X- can delete an O already on the board, but because the effect contains a random element, it is just as likely to remove one of your own pieces. Therefore, a player must manage risk, in addition to other normal strategies.



      The game is a two player game at the moment and the interface is very simple. But it works. A few minor bugs I haven't figured how fix don't affect the gameplay. An example is that the "Player 'x' has won the game" alert fires off before the game piece is drawn on the board. I have also hard coded the coordinates for game winning checks. I am sure there is an easier (algorithmic) way of doing that.
