Create a new Flutter project for a multiplayer Tic Tac Toe app, integrating NodeJS, MongoDB and Socket.io, and set up a main menu screen with a dark theme.
Design a main menu with two actions: create room and join room, using a reusable custom button widget wired with onTap callbacks and a named route for navigation.
Wrap the main menu column in a responsive widget that constrains width to 600, ensuring the app looks good on Android, web, and desktop.
Install the socket io client in Flutter, configure a singleton socket client with web socket transport, and set server IP address and port 3000 to enable client server socket communication.
Create a socket methods class, obtain the socket client instance, and emit a create room event with the player name to trigger server actions and database updates.
configure a node server with socket.io to handle socket connection via io.on('connection'), listen for socket.on('create room') with a player name, enabling client-server communication and testing with npm run dev.
Learn to handle the create room event on the server: create and save a room with a player X, join the room, and emit create room success to all participants.
Learn to manage TicTacToe room state with Flutter provider by creating a room data provider, registering it in main.dart, and updating room data on create room success.
Implement a top scoreboard in the game screen that displays player names and points, wired to the room data provider to update as matches progress.
