Return to Question

I'm working on building a simple game in vanilla JS (tic-tac-toe). Some weeks ago created a functional MVP and asked some questions about it (Vanilla JS Tic-Tac-Toe). The code worked, but it was a single monolithic mess and the ui was ugly, so I decided to improve it.

So, I refactored the code. I organized it in three files:

1. main.js - contains the state and controls the game flow
2. UIFunctions.js - ui related (painting cells, cleaning the screen, etc)
3. gameCheckerFunctions - process the state and verifies if we have a winner
4. gameStateFunctions - basically saves moves made and change the current player

1. How to implement a MVC pattern? Right now the state and html elements are global variables, but I think this could be stored in state and UI clases. Also, I'm having troubles with the concept of controller. Are main.js the code that will be the controller in an MVC pattern?

2. There's a better algorithm to check for the winner?

3. Is it a good looking code? How it could will be improved? What looks ugly and could be done in a better way? I really would like to develop good practices from the beginning.

4. Some features that i would like to implement are a CPU player, storing the score in localStorage, remember the player name, auth, two-player network gamming, etc. I'm in the correct way of doing things?

Many thanks in advance!

I'm working on a simple project in vanilla js (tic-tac-toe). I created a MVP and asked some questions about it Vanilla JS Tic-Tac-Toe. The code worked, but it was a single monolithic mess and the ui was ugly, so I decided to improve it.

I organized the refactored code in three files:

1. How to implement a MVC pattern with this code? Right now the state and html elements are global variables, but I think this could be stored in the state and UI clases. Are main.js the code that corresponds to the controller in an MVC pattern? TLDR: how to transform this code to MVC?

2. There's a better way to check for the winner?

3. Is it a good looking code? How it could will be improved? What looks ugly and could be done in a better way? I really would like to develop good practices from the beginning

4. My goals with this are implement a CPU player, store the score, remember the player name, two-player network gamming, etc. I'm in the correct way of doing things?
