1. For each client, a lobby is opened - with three buttons

• Refresh - must be clicked in order to see the online users
• Scoreboard - show the points of every user (1 point for a win, 0 - draw and lose)
• Connect - once a user is chosen, this button sends the request for game

2. Request is made

• the second user receives a pop-up window, where he can choose to accept or reject the request
• if he rejects the request, a pop-up message is shown to the first user, which tells that his opponent rejected the request, both users can choose new opponents again
• if he accepts the offer for playing - two frames with board 3x3 are opened and the users start playing

3. The game ends

• if it is a draw, both windows are closed and only the users lobbies remain - the users can choose their next opponent
• if one of the players wins, then all the field on the 3x3 grid become unable and the windows are closed again, but the lobbies remain:
• a pop-up messages are shown to see who won and who lost
• the user who won adds 1 point to his score - his score can be seen in the Scoreboard

4. Additional features

• if during the game one of the player decides to end the game , he simply click the red “X” button on the top of the frame and both his and his opponents’s grid are closed (not the lobbies)
• if a new user sign in , but his nickname is the same as to someone who exists , the new user receives new name and is represented in the scoreboard and the list of users with it. (the new name i simply the same with just added “1” in the back)
