SegalAu / TicTacToe

Simple Tic Tac Toe created with Python / Java / JS.

Tic Tac Toe simulator

Uses Monte Carlo heuristics to play tic tac toe!

Instructions for Running

1. navigate to project root file (/383-project) and execute docker-compose build (estimated time 1-2 minutes)

2. execute docker-compose up (estimated time 1.5-2 min) Wait until react application has started (should link you to localhost:3000)

   Check that web-app has started correctly, if it fails, might need to perform a npm install within the front end folder
   Check that server has required dependencies (navigate to server and run npm install)
   Run general npm install (root level) to be safe
   

3. In a new terminal, navigate to subfolder /Game

4. Execute javac -cp ./py4j0.10.9.1.jar Game.java

5. Execute java -cp ./py4j0.10.9.1.jar Game.java

7. In a new terminal, navigate to subfolder /MessageQueue
8. Execute python receive.py

8. Visit localhost:3000 in browser and play the game!

** [TODO] Add game and receiver execution to docker-compose (single command startup)

Languages Used

• Python (Receiver)
  • bridges gap between server and game logic handler
• Javascript
  • React web application (front end)
  • Node Express Server (back end)
• Java
  • Game logic handler

Cross Language Communication Methods

• RabbitMQ
  • Communication between node express server (JS) and python receiver
    • 2-way communication (request and response)
• Py4j
  • Communication between python receiver and Java Game application
    • receiver calls Java runGame functionality and returns results from Game application, to reciever, to server, and back to web application
