Warning

movements and states must be updated by boardAR.play()

reset()

Resets the game for a new game

Resets turn, movements, sates, winner, next and last player Calls boardAR.reset()

start()

Plays a game until it is over, i.e. there is a winner or the game is even

How it is working:

As long as the game is not over (ie self.turn < 9 and thereIsAWinner == False) there is a loop where:

• turn is incremented,
• nextPlayer.play() is called and then next and last player are inverted,
• if wanted, the board is printed.

When it is over, meth:.Player.endOfGame() of player1 and player2 is called - if wanted, the result is printed.
