If I want to make a game board like tic tac toe, should I use string + concatenations, stringbuilder, console.print? Something else?
Please don’t write it for me. I wand to do it :). But what would you use to build a board from regular ascii characters?
hmmm… I would just use
System.out.println();
Wait or maybe…
Make a class and name it tile. Then have a class that holds all the tiles in an array list. Then in that class you could have a draw method. And in each tile there would be a draw method.
In that draw method would be something like this:
System.out.printf("|%s|", value);
S being the value of the tile. (X or O)
Hope this helped! 
Just use string concatenation and System.out.println()'s, the string your’e printing is so short it won’t matter.
As for characters and layout, maybe something like this: (ignore the automatic red highlighting)
X | O | X
---------
O | X | O
---------
O | X | O
Also, Jacob, there’s no need for multiple classes and all the OOP BS for a simple tic-tack-toe game that can probably be written in < 50 lines.
Ok, but OOP != BS.
Sorry if that’s how I came across, I didn’t mean OOP is BS (should practice better phrasing), but in this context I’d say many of it’s principles are highly unnecessary.
