Game: Tic-Tac-Toe Super Bowl Edition

Loving the graphics, really cool - good work Kevin. Love that you've taken an existing project and re-themed it with something topical and relevant - I guess that's also a great example of the benefit of building up a large catalogue of projects.... that you can take the foundations of the what you have built in the past and change the graphics to create a completely different course with minimum amount of effort.

But being a Brit all this down/touchdown/quarter stuff still confuses me... And I can't see where I can score a home run? This must be what it's like for my girlfriend whilst I'm watching the football (sorry.... "soccer") ;)

Maybe if I play your game for long enough I'll finally figure it all out :)

Kevin,

This is really great!  At some point, you should add in a video to give folks a peek under the hood.  I bet there's all sorts of crazy variable goodness percolating!

@Ant, Yes. This is in larger part more about design thinking. On every project I'm always thinking, and encourage others, to continuously strategize how building an interaction for one course can be a true template for possible future repurposing. 

It starts with the design. Designing an underlying infrastructure that will support any top layer of visual  treatment is key.

The graphics can easily be changed to theme it around baseball or even that other football (soccer). :) In fact, I'd like to create a library of these in sports themes. Hard part is done. Just swapping graphics and terminology will completely change the look/feel. 

Love it - thanks for sharing Kevin! 

@Mike. Yes, there's all sorts of goodness in this thing. Great examples of variables changing based on one or two object states changing. And examples of one or more object states changing based on the value of a variable. Many of which are communicating across various layers.

For stat geeks:

• 2 slides: Cover and Game Board
  • Cover + 1 layer
  • Game Board + 8 layers
• 640 triggers
• 39 variables
• No JavaScript

The real question though - is who will you be cheering for on Sunday?? :-) 

Da Bears of course! :)

Great job Kevin.  Very smooth design. I'm surprised you did it without any javascript. I bet those triggers were a nightmare to keep track of.

Super like.....Great Job Kevin.

Thanks Nitesh!

And yes, Jerson...it was a complex tangle of competing conditional triggers! If anything it's a great case study for how to manage 500+ triggers on one slide, though. :)

Very cool, Kevin! :)

Great Job, Kevin! 

Thanks Michele!
