As a player I want to play Tic-Tac-Toe against the computer so that I can entertain myself.
- Acceptance criteria
  - The user and the computer take turns playing.
  - The first player to achieve three-in-row wins.
  - Three-in-a-row can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
  - When the game ends a new game can be started.
  - The achieved score is registered.
As a player I want my top scores to be registered so that I can review my accomplishments.
- Acceptance criteria
  - The score is calculated based on the lowest number of moves combined with the duration of the game. (you don't get points when you lose, and you can assume that the time taken by the computer is negligible)
  - Only the top 10 scores are kept.
  - The scores can be tracked in memory, they don't need to be persisted to a data store.
As a player I want to register my name so that others can see who achieved what score.
- Acceptance criteria
  - The user can enter their name when the game starts.
As a player I want to see my current score compared to that of other players so that I know how well I'm currently doing.
- Acceptance criteria
  - The score of the current game is always displayed.
  - The current score is shown in comparison to the top scores.

In the Trifork - Tic-Tac-Toe zip file you'll find a basic application.
The technologies used are:
The basic application contains the following elements to get you started:
- A static index page
- A CSS file containing the styling for the game
- A JavaScript file which initializes the game
- A Spring-MVC RestController handling POST requests to "/executeTurn" containing the following parameters:
  - turn: boolean
  - column: int
  - row: int
Feel free to introduce new technologies as part of your implementation:
- For instance, use AngularJS for the presentation and client-side components, or use a server-side templating framework like Thymeleaf instead.
The application can simply be started from your IDE, or by using the Maven command mvn spring-boot:run
