I’m currently working on a tic tac toe game and have a lot of the game fleshed out, but two things that have me stumped are the following:
-When the game is over, I want a pop up to ask if the user would like to play again
-Efficiently access ui elements (see restart function)
In my ui file, I’ve got 9 buttons in a 3x3 named 1-9. When the user clicks one, it titles that button as “X” or “O” depending on whose turn it is. The game is able to determine the winner in all scenarios correctly, and displays whose turn it is and the winner in a label below.
Currently, I have a Restart button, but I’d like it to be a pop up after the game is over and am not sure how that works. The whole views part is throwing me off. I’ve read through the glossary in the app, but I’m still not able to make much sense of it.
Any help is appreciated! TIYA
