OVERVIEW :

The Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe game is an extended version of the classic Tic-Tac-Toe, played on a 9x9 grid of smaller Tic-Tac-Toe boards. Players take turns making moves within the smaller grids, and winning a smaller grid grants control of the corresponding larger grid. The goal is to win three smaller grids in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

• Player 1 is represented by 'X', and Player 2 is represented by 'O'.

• The larger 9x9 grid is presented, along with statistics and player information.

3. Moving and Placing

• Players use arrow keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) to navigate within the grid.
• The 'Tab' key allows switching between smaller grids.
• Pressing 'Enter' places the player's symbol ('X' or 'O') in the selected cell.

4. Switching Grids

• Players are constrained to move in the smaller grid indicated by the last move of the opponent.
• If a player wins a smaller grid, they force the opponent to move in the corresponding larger grid.

5. Winning Conditions

• The game checks for wins in smaller grids after each move.
• If a player wins three smaller grids in a row, they are declared the overall winner.

6. Draw Conditions

• If all smaller grids are filled, and there is no winner, the game ends in a draw.

7. Escape Key
