HTML/Javascript Canvas Tic Tac Toe Game Drag and Drop Tutorial

The Canvas HTML element tag can be used as the container to draw graphics on the fly usually via the use of Javascript functions for rendering and event management.

In today’s tutorial we show some image Drag and Drop functionality that you can use with the Canvas HTML5 element where we create a Tic Tac Toe game webpage. We thank w3schools for the great advice at this link.

The Drag and Drop does not work well on tablets, but for own Tic Tac Toe game today we allow either a drag and drop approach, or a touch/click approach.
