The following are several points of competency and skill that are intended to help identify areas of additional practice and study. Not all answers are found in the Codeup curriculum.
Create a playable Tic-tac-toe board board game with unique styling and animations using jQuery.
Hard Challenge - make the game winnable by detecting when a player gets three-in-a-row.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whac-A-Mole is a popular game created in the 1970s. The game randomly has plastic (or wooden) moles pop out of holes, and the object of the game is to hit the moles and have them go back in their hole.
