Decided to take a little trip down memory lane! 🚀 Years ago, one of the very first things I ever built when I was learning to code was a really basic Tic-Tac-Toe game. Today, I figured it would be fun to open up that old repository and see how much I could improve it. It’s still a super simple Vanilla JavaScript app at its core, but giving it a 2026 glow-up was an absolute blast. Here’s what I changed to bring it into the modern era. ✨ The Glow Up: I completely ripped out the old styling and added modern glass UI effects along with a theme switcher. You can now play in Cyberpunk Neon, Deep Midnight, or Royal Gold. 🎮 Better Gameplay: Instead of the game ending immediately, I turned it into a combo-scoring game. You keep playing until the whole 3x3 or 5x5 board is completely full to rack up points. 🤖 Smarter Logic: The computer opponent isn't a total pushover anymore! I added some simple logic so it actively looks for winning spots, blocks my moves, or takes the center tile. 🌐 Online Play: To top it off, I hooked it up to Firebase so can actually send a room link to friends and play against them in real time. Want to play a round? Try it out here (works on mobile too!):  🔗 https://lnkd.in/gZEdadvu It's actually crazy to look back at the code I wrote years ago compared to how I approach things today. Honestly, revisiting your very first projects is a massive confidence booster and a great reminder of how far you've come. #JavaScript #WebDev #CodingJourney #SideProject #CSS #HTML #Frontend #Firebase #LearnToCode
