AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Determining a Draw Condition

The video tutorial addresses the need to detect draw conditions in a game. It introduces the isDraw function, which checks if the game board has no more moves left, indicating a draw. The function is implemented using JavaScript's reduce method to count zeros in the game board array. The tutorial then demonstrates how to integrate this function into the game logic, update the game state, and display a draw message. Finally, it tests the draw condition and makes minor CSS adjustments, setting the stage for the next lesson on refreshing the game state.

What was the primary issue identified with the current game logic?

• There was no way to detect a draw condition.

• The game was too slow.

• The game board was too small.

• Players could win too easily.

What does the 'is draw' function primarily check for in the game board?

• The number of winning combinations.

• The total number of moves made.

• The current player's score.

• The presence of any zeros.

Which JavaScript method is used to count zeros in the game board?

• forEach

• reduce

• map

• filter

How is the game state updated when a draw is detected?

• The game state remains unchanged.

• The game state is set to 'win' for both players.

• The game state is set to 'draw' and no player is declared a winner.

• The game is reset automatically.

What message is displayed when a draw condition is detected?

• Game over.

• Game is a draw.

• Player 2 wins!

• Player 1 wins!

What minor adjustment was made to improve the display of the draw message?

• Changing the font size.

• Adjusting the width of the string.

• Changing the text color.

• Adding a background color.

What is planned for the next lesson regarding the game status?

• Increasing the game board size.

• Implementing a mechanism to refresh the game status.

• Improving the game's graphics.

• Adding more winning combinations.
