Hey guys, I am working on coding a tic tac toe game. I am just learning ruby, so i was wondering if you guys could help me out. In my program, i assumed i should create a class just for the board. I am pretty much clueless as to what the board class should contain though... methods obviously, but how would that end up? I'm not asking for code, just mere ideas.
Thanks!

the board class should hold an array representing the board, and maybe another array to hold all of the states that happened during the game. Have methods in the class to places x's or o's on the board, along with anoter method that checks to see if the game is complete.
You might also want to add a database of moves and an "AI" player that could play against a human using brute force serches on the moves.

"The board class should hold an array representing the board." Okay, I understand that it should have an array, but I'm not really sure what you mean by "representing the board". Is there some way that I have to specify an area for each slot on the board (such as top left, middle top... etc.)? As for the array to begin with, I would just put something like this:
CODE
  class Board
    board = []

well a 2d array, so you can have columns and rows.
So if you have a 3 x 3 array for the 3 columns and 3 rows on the tic tac toe board.
