For this assignment, you are required to write a MIPS program that allows users to play an interactive game of Tic Tac Toe (Naughts and Crosses).

Represent your game board as a two-dimensional array of characters, with three rows and three columns. Other useful global variables include the following:

1. whoseMove: a character used to remember which player get to make the next move. The value of whoseMove should alternate between X and O as the game proceeds.

2. moveCount: an integer used to count the number of moves made during the current game.

At a minimum, your solution should include the following methods:

1. ResetBoard: this void method clears the Tic Tac Toe board, sets whoseMove to X, and sets moveCount to 0.

2. AddMove: this void method interactively prompts for and reads two integer values representing a selected row and column. Your method should display an appropriate error message and repeat the input process until the user enters row and column numbers between 1 and 3, inclusive, that specify an unoccupied board position. It should then place the current players token (X or O) in the selected position.

3. DisplayBoard: this void method displays the current content of the board on the screen.

4. IsAWin: this method returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the most recent move resulted in a win, which may occur in the current row, the current column, or along either diagonal.

I have the code in Java. How would I approach this assignment and translate my java into mips assembly code ?
