Tic Tac Toe – A Puzzle Game | ADMOB, FIREBASE, ONESIGNAL

Here's a comprehensive tutorial on building a Tic Tac Toe - A Puzzle Game using ADMOB, FIREBASE, and ONESIGNAL, divided into sections for easier learning. I'll start with a brief introduction.

Introduction

Welcome to this in-depth tutorial on building a Tic Tac Toe - A Puzzle Game using ADMOB, FIREBASE, and ONESIGNAL. If you're new to developing mobile apps, this project will help you learn key concepts and technologies. As you progress through this tutorial, you'll learn:

1. How to set up a new Android game project using Android Studio and Flutter.
2. How to implement Tic Tac Toe game logic using Dart (the programming language for Flutter).
3. How to add AdMob ads to earn revenue from your game.
4. How to integrate Firebase to store game data, handle user authentication, and track analytics.
5. How to use OneSignal for push notifications to promote your game and engage players.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, please ensure you have:

• Android Studio installed on your computer.
• A Flutter SDK installed on your machine.
• A basic understanding of programming concepts and software development.
• A mobile device (Android or iOS) for testing and testing the app.

Chapter 1: Setting Up the Project

In this chapter, we'll set up a new Android game project using Android Studio and Flutter.

1. Download and install Android Studio on your computer.
2. Launch Android Studio and choose "Flutter" as your project type.
3. Create a new Flutter project and name it "Tic Tac Toe Game" (or any other name you prefer).
4. Create a new directory to hold your project files.

Chapter 2: Implementing Tic Tac Toe Game Logic

In this chapter, we'll focus on implementing the Tic Tac Toe game logic using Dart.

1. Create a new Dart file named game_logic.dart under your project directory.
2. Define the game class TicTacToeGame with the necessary variables and methods to track the game state, including:
   • playerTurn: a boolean variable to track whose turn it is (true for Player 1, false for Player 2).
   • gameBoard: a 2D list of strings to represent the game board.
   • winner: a string variable to store the winning player (or null if the game is not finished).
3. Implement game logic methods, such as:
   • newGame(): resets the game state and initializes the board.
   • makeMove(row, col, player): updates the game board with the selected move and checks for game-winning conditions.
   • checkWinner(): checks if the game is won by either player or if it's a draw.

Chapter 3: Adding AdMob Ads

In this chapter, we'll integrate AdMob ads into our game.

1. Create a new file named ad_utils.dart under your project directory.
2. Download the AdMob SDK package using the following command:

flutter pub add google_mobile_ads

1. Implement an AdMob ad unit code and initialize the ad to display in your game screen.

Chapter 4: Integrating Firebase

In this chapter, we'll integrate Firebase into our game to store game data, handle user authentication, and track analytics.

1. Create a new project in the Firebase console.
2. Enable the required Firebase services (e.g., Realtime Database, Authentication, Analytics).
3. Download the Firebase configurations files (e.g., google-services.json) to your project directory.
4. Implement Firebase integration by setting up the necessary databases and authentication methods.

Chapter 5: Integrating OneSignal

In this chapter, we'll integrate OneSignal into our game to send push notifications to players.

1. Create a new OneSignal project and download the initialization file (e.g., OneSignalSDKInit.sol).
2. Copy the initialization file to your project directory.
3. Implement OneSignal integration by setting up the necessary listener and notification methods.

In the next chapters, I'll provide more detailed information on implementing each of these components. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this tutorial!
