Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe Bots Final Project for Udacity C++ Nanodegree

Game Rules

Goal: Win 3 local boards to create a Tic-Tac-Toe (3 in a row) on the global board.

• Each small 3 × 3 tic-tac-toe board is referred to as a local board, and the larger 3 × 3 board is referred to as the global board.
• The game randomly selects who goes first.
• When a player makes a move on the local board, the opposing player is "sent" to the corresponding local board on the global board.
  • Example: If "X" moves in the middle cell on an active local board, player "O" will be sent to the middle local board on the global board.
• If a player is sent to a local board that is already finished then all unfinished baords will become active and playable.
• Player turns and end of game status is displayed at the top of the window.
