This tutorial guides readers through the first part of creating an online multiplayer tic-tac-toe game using React Native and PubNub, focusing on setting up the game environment and implementing the lobby system where players can enter their usernames, create, or join a room. PubNub is used to provide real-time infrastructure, allowing players to connect and interact in under 100 milliseconds. The tutorial covers setting up a React Native environment, creating necessary files, and initializing the PubNub connection for real-time data exchange. It details creating and joining game rooms, managing player states, and ensuring secure, scalable communication using PubNub's APIs. The document emphasizes styling components and managing user interactions within the lobby, employing methods like onPressCreateRoom and onPressJoinRoom to facilitate room creation and joining processes. The tutorial concludes by setting up the lobby's logic, preparing readers to proceed to the second part, where they will implement the tic-tac-toe game board and real-time interactivity.
