In a recent post, I sketched out how to use Javascript to build a gameboard for a browser-based game - specifically Tic Tac Toe. After a little tweaking, I’ve worked this into a functioning Tic Tac Toe board.

In this post, we’ll explore the code used to set up this board. Once that’s done, the next step will be to create a php script to evaluate some of the game’s logic.

A thorough knowledge of Javascript can give you tremendous control over what happens on a website. Combined with PHP through an AJAX request, you can make some pretty nifty browser-based games.

This tutorial will focus on the first part of making a basic board game - creating a board. The end result will be a three by three game board suitable for use in developing a tic-tac-toe game.

Over the weekend, I decided it was finally time to learn how to use JS and AJAX. I’d deliberately avoided using JS for anything I could accomplish in PHP - but I admit that I was getting a bit intrigued by the AJAX hooplah.

I found some very useful resources for dealing with JS, AJAX, and DOM, so I thought I’d share them for any other eager learners.
