We will create the state machine which will allow our game to manage different game states/screens from Main Menu to Game to Pause state.

Great links to learn more about State Machines:

We will create an asset manager to handle the loading and retrieval of various types of assets including the following:

• Textures
• Fonts

We will cover implementing an input manager to handle all of our input needs. It will be extendable allowing you to implement more and complex input methods for your future games.

We will implement the main game loop that will handle all of our game from input to asset management to state handling.

We will now implement the Splash State that allows us to add our very own logo.

We will now implement the Main Menu State that allows us to  navigate to the Game State and displays the game name/logo.

We will now implement the Game State that will contain our main game logic and game elements.

We will now implement the Pause State that will appear when pausing our game and provide a method to go back to the main menu.

We will now implement the Game Over State that will appear when the player wins or loses.

We will now start to implement the the grid system which will contain the game pieces.

Let's now implement the functionality to place a game piece.

Let's now implement the win condition to allow us to win at our awesome game.

We have a game but we want to be able to play against the computer, so let's implement AI.

We now will implement the final part of the game to show the game over state when the player wins, loses or draws.

You have created an awesome game, lets discuss where you can go from here.

Thanks a lot for enrolling in this course, as a way of saying thank you, I am giving you access to my other classes on (game development) at a steep discount! Hope you enjoy them.
