- Access: Scrimba Pro required
What Makes This Course Distinctive
You ship a Tic Tac Toe clone with hooks in under an hour of content, which makes it a low-risk sandbox for state transitions and win detection. The scope is intentionally small so you can see the whole data flow without a router or API. That helps beginners like Tom who get lost inside larger codebases, and busy learners like Maria who need a single evening win.
Because it is short, it does not cover accessibility polish or deployment the way the memory game course does. Treat it as a hooks gym session or a bridge between JS comfort and React confidence. It sits naturally after you can read JSX and before you commit to multi-hour projects. If you already build games with context and reducers, you will outgrow it quickly.
Who is this for?
- Best for: Developers who know a little React/JSX and want a short hooks workout (state, turns, win logic) in one evening.
- Not ideal if: You need a full curriculum—use Learn React; for accessibility + polish, consider the memory game course.
