Starting Our Tic-Tac-Toe App
The first thing we need to do is to get the basic Tic-Tac-Toe app started. Since this app is just scaffolding on which to hang OpenSocial concepts, we're going to gloss over a lot of the details. At this initial level our app could just as easily be a JavaScript game embedded in a Web page. It is the OpenSocial code that we will add later that will make the game come alive.
The game is a simple table grid of nine squares. Each square has a click handler to record player moves. Underneath the surface is a state-of-the-art computer AI (i.e., random-move engine) to play against.
The remainder of this chapter will introduce some basic concepts that are central to OpenSocial and apply them to our Tic-Tac-Toe app. At the end of this chapter, our app will display the current player's name, gender, current location, and Profile image.
