1. In NetBeans, open the TicTacToeGUIGame project.
2. In the TicTacToeGUIGame.java file, make the following
changes to the TicTacToeGUIGame class:
a. Add a new method named getOutcome that returns
an Outcome enumeration. Use the winOrTie
method in the Lesson 2 graded project as a guide.
b. In the takeTurn method, use the getOutcome
method to determine whether to continue the game.
c. In the takeTurn method, display a dialog message
that displays the winner or tie when the game ends.
Optionally, you can clear the board and start a new
game after it ends.
Note: You can use the following method to display a
dialog message in the current window:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (this, “Both players
tie.”);
3. Build and run the project. Verify it works as expected.
Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t run as expected right
away. Try tracing your steps and using System.out.write
statements to figure out where you went wrong.
