Hi mark I read a bit your code
It is nice for a first project!!!! Here are some feedback. I suggest that you take into account the easy one and produce a new version and if you want to train your skills you try to see how to address the difficult ones. Stef - Add it in the class comment XsAndOsGame new openInWorld. - you have some unclassified protocols on the class side. - you may want to run smallLint (criticBorwser on your code and see the hints that it can give you). - When you create a new game do not move the window to the top corner :) easyBtn -> easyButton (you do not pay per character :)) findEmptyCellPos -> findEmptyCellPosition not in accessing impBtn -> impossibleButton …. :) - Why do you need a separate class just for three colors? I would merge XsAndOsGameColors and XsAndOsGame XsAndOsGame>>initialize is long May be you should extract some methods from it (methods that you can then reuse for other tasks) renderOContents | delta offset x1 y1 x2 y2 rect | delta := CellRenderer cellExtent - 1. offset := self offsetWithinGridForm. x1 := offset x + self oCorner x. x2 := offset x + delta x - self oCorner x. y1 := offset y + self oCorner y. y2 := offset y + delta y - self oCorner y. rect := Rectangle new setOrigin: x1 @ y1 corner: x2 @ y2. self targetForm getCanvas fillOval: rect color: XsAndOsGameColors gameBoardBackgroundColor borderWidth: 3 borderColor: XsAndOsGameColors OColor What do you refer to CellRenderer direcly? self class ? rendererFor: aCell "VERY BAD IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS METHOD!!!" aCell class = EmptyCell ifTrue: [ ^ CellRenderer ]. aCell class = XCell ifTrue: [ ^ XCellRenderer ]. aCell class = OCell ifTrue: [ ^ OCellRenderer ] indeed :) why not implementing some methods call renderClass and sending a message to the object :) mptyCell>>initialize super initialize. CellRenderer>>offsetWithinGridForm "Returns a point - left top corner of current cell" ^ CellRenderer cellExtent * ((self cellLocation x - 1) @ (self cellLocation y - 1)) => self clas cellExtent CellRenderer >> renderBorderBottom | delta offset x1 y1 x2 y2 | delta := CellRenderer cellExtent - 1. offset := self offsetWithinGridForm. x1 := offset x. x2 := x1 + delta x. y1 := offset y + delta y. y2 := y1. self targetForm getCanvas line: x1 @ y1 to: x2 @ y2 width: 1 color: XsAndOsGameColors cellBorderColor => CellRenderer >> renderBorderBottom | delta offset x1 y1 x2 y2 | delta := self class cellExtent - 1. offset := self offsetWithinGridForm. x1 := offset x. x2 := x1 + delta x. y1 := offset y + delta y. y2 := y1. self targetForm getCanvas line: x1 @ y1 to: x2 @ y2 width: 1 color: XsAndOsGameColors cellBorderColor I was wondering why you need Grid (I would rename it CellGrid) and do not use a Matrix. grid sizeOfGrid -> I would rename sizeOfGrid into size like that your grid can be a bit more polymorphic from its API point of view makeGameBoarMorph -> typo :) Now I want wondering why you do not have an instance variable to hold it Future fun ideas for new versions: —————————————————————— playerVsComputer self vsComputer ifTrue: [ self vsComputer: false. self stateMorph contents: 'Player 1 VS Player 2' ] ifFalse: [ self vsComputer: true. self stateMorph contents: 'Player VS Computer ---> Difficulty: ' , self difficulty asString ]. self vsComputer ifTrue: [ self easyBtn enable. self normalBtn enable. self impBtn enable ] ifFalse: [ self easyBtn disable. self normalBtn disable. self impBtn disable ] This kind of code may be think that may be you need another object that represent the TwoUsers vsComputer strategy I’m not sure but clicked look quite long. May be you should create another class that can represent the logic of the game. A really interesting exercise would be to see how you can create a boardGame for 15*15 and see how it breaks some hidden rules.
