# Video Board game example

Here's an example of how you can use `async`/`await` in the context of a video board game:

```javascript
async function playGame() {
  try {
    // Fetch game data from the server
    const response = await fetch('https://example.com/game');
    const gameData = await response.json();

    // Initialize the game with the fetched data
    const game = new VideoBoardGame(gameData);

    // Wait for the player to make a move
    const move = await game.waitForMove();

    // Send the move to the server
    await game.sendMove(move);

    // Wait for the opponent's move
    const opponentMove = await game.waitForOpponentMove();

    // Update the game state with the opponent's move
    game.applyMove(opponentMove);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}
```

In the example above, the `playGame` function is defined as an async function. It starts by fetching game data from the server using the `fetch` function and the `await` operator. It then initializes a `VideoBoardGame` object with the fetched data.

The function then enters a loop where it waits for the player to make a move using the `waitForMove` method of the `VideoBoardGame` object. When the player makes a move, the function sends the move to the server using the `sendMove` method and the `await` operator.

The function then waits for the opponent's move using the `waitForOpponentMove` method, and updates the game state with the opponent's move using the `applyMove` method.

The `async`/`await` keywords allow you to write asynchronous code in a synchronous-like style, which can make it easier to read and understand.
