Programming Project #2

Due: 3/12/2017

Objective: Create a button based event-driven GUI to play the game Tic-Tac-Toe.

Team: If you choose, you can work with one partner and submit one solution. Send me the name of your partner (by Sunday end of 2-19).

· Your application should first display the board. A Play button should allow the user to choose two different

· Players’ name (from among a list of names initially read from a file). It should then display the chosen players name and their scores – number of wins (also part of the read file). The first player plays X, the second player plays O.

· The board to should indicate the player who goes next, and a message to choose a tile. If a tile taken is clicked then an appropriate message is displayed and the player chooses a valid tile.

· When a player wins or if the game is a draw – display an appropriate message and update the score.

· A Replay button allows the same players to play again. A New button allows a new game between different players.

· An Exit button updates the scores to the file and exits the application.

· Input file (scores.dat) has the current names and scores (any number) that is initially read-in and used.
