Where to Go From Here?

As a challenge, you can let more players connect to the host and use a bigger board, the TicTacToe model already allows that. Here are a few tips that will help you:
- You’ll need to choose another connection strategy.
- Let the host decide the board size.
- Because the host doesn’t know how many opponents will connect beforehand, you’ll need to set the local and opponent player numbers when the game starts.
- Instead of immediately starting the game whenever an opponent joins, wait for more than one to join and let the host decide when to start.
- You’ll need a new payload to signal to all the opponents that the host has started a new game.
You can find the solution in the materials.
