My Javascript Logic Recipie

I have found that the Javascript work we have done so far lends itself to encapsulate in logical steps. When starting new javascript work, here is the little cookbook/recipie I follow. Here are my thoughts using TicTacToe and PixArt as examples.

1) Datamodeling

I am going to define the object as the game. So that I can say myGame = new TicTacToe();

My game needs a board. It needs players, but X always goes first. And the game is either won or unwon but when it starts, there is no winner. I think my game should have how many moves have been played (but this could also be figured out by inspecting the board).

The actions I will have are only two: make a move, and see if someone has won.
