This Django project allows the user to play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe with a reasonably skilled AI opponenent. It's not perfect, but it is realistic. I simply ran out of time to debug the rest of the MinMax algorithm.

• Virtualenv (http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/)
• SQLite 3 (http://sqlite.org/)

• Check out a copy of this repository.
• Inside of this directory run virtualenv venv to create the virtual environment.
• Run source venv/bin/activate to activate the virtual environment.
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the rest of the dependencies.

There is a (very) small suite of tests. They can be ran by running: python manage.py test

While not necessary, this app logs all moves and board positions. There isn't any real functionality that uses this, but it does show that I know how to wire up models, the admin, and use standard database concepts.

• Run python manage.py syncdb
• Run python manage.py migrate

As is best practice, South was used to handle schema migrations.

To get running, just do the usual: python manage.py runserver.

As I was going through the process of creating this, I had a few thoughts as to what I would do differently if I had more time.

• Perfecting the AI. Yes, the AI is flawed. I wasn't able to make it perfect, but it is actually more fun to play against this was in my opinion.
• Better win detection. There are still some instances where a win has occurred by the AI, but it never registers. I'm flummoxed.
• More, better tests. The testing is fairly high level integration testing. I'd like some unit tests around the TicTacToe class.
• Use an API framework. Ideally I'd use Django Rest Framework, but TastyPie would be fine too. Having nice client-server seperation and a good REST interface to communicate with is nice.
• Use Angular.js. I have expert knowledge of Angular, but I didn't think this would be as complicated as it became on the frontend. I would definitely use a client-side framework next time instead of just jQuery.
• It would be great to save games and start back from that position.
• It could use some design love, but at least Bootstrap3 provides something.
• I should use Django-Compressor to compress my CSS and javascript.
• I really should be using SASS or LESS for CSS. Once again, the scope grew further than I was expecting.
• I would have liked to deploy this somewhere, but I think that was beyond scope.
