[TicTacToe] Add a GUI

[mattiadg]

It would be nice to have a GUI for TicTacToe.
If you are keen on GUI with C++ or also in Javascript, please feel free to contribute.

If you are open to Java, it would be far easier to write it with one of Java's built-in GUI frameworks.

[mattiadg]

It's fine for me, but I think that in the cases of languages different from C++ we need to refactor the code in a client/server fashion.

[fallazc]

You are right, I will tackle issue #4 and see where I can go from there.

Are you open to a Qt5 C++ GUI?

[fallazc]

I was thinking of sfml instead as Qt is quite heavy.

[DeveloperPaul123]

Qt may be "heavy" but it also has more features. @mattiadg What do you think?

[fallazc]

I already started to write the netcode using sfml which is why I suggested to also write the GUI using sfml. I don't mind working with either but having to install ~1Gb framework for such simple game seems overkill to me.

[DeveloperPaul123]

If it's just for tic tac toe, then yes, I could see how it would be overkill. But using something like qt5 could be nice if you want 1 GUI for all the games.

[mattiadg]

It would be nice to have GUIs for all the games, and a unified interface for all the games would be even better, as far as somebody continues to work on it.
I would consider the client/server architecture more versatile because it also let us to connect to existing GUIs, for example for Chess there are GUIs compatible with multiple engines that implement a protocol, e.g. arena.

[DeveloperPaul123]

So in that case it sounds like it might be best to stick to a client/server architecture for now and add bindings to front ends as needed whether that be sfml or Qt5 or whatever else is out there.

[mattiadg]

Yes, I agree.
