Task 1 Tic, Tac, Toe Upgrade:
In a regular game of 'Tic, Tac, Toe', there are 2 players in a 3 x 3 grid in which they must get a row of three.
We were tasked to create a more interesting game by adding another player and working around that basis. We called this third symbol 'T'.
A group of three couldn't possibly make a game of Tic, Tac, Toe work on a 3 x 3 grid therefore we decided to increase the grid size to 4 x 4, finishing the upgrade on the game.
