[WIP] Overview

For this project in UW’s CSE 123 course, we were tasked with making some kind of board game. Tapatan is a Filipino board game akin to tic-tac-toe, but played on a small board made of intersecting lines. Each player has three movable pieces. Alternating turns, players first place their pieces on empty points. Then, once all pieces are placed, they take turns sliding pieces along the lines to try to form a straight line of three. The movement phase adds more strategic depth than tic-tac-toe, as well as more complexity within the code!

More info to come soon, including videos of the boards being used
