| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 |
| 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 |
| 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 |
| 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 |
| 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 |
So, the main idea behind this project is just to store tokens positions in two different set depending on the player's turn, and play with indexes and step between indexes to know if someone wins
The last players who played placed a token at position 33 :
| Directions | Begin | End | Step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lines | 30 | 36 | 1 |
| Columns | 3 | 63 | 10 |
| Diagonal 1 | 0 | 66 | 11 |
| Diagonal 2 | 6 | 60 | 9 |
So, starting from position x, its basically :
| Directions | Begin | End | Step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lines | x-3 | x+3 | 1 |
| Columns | x-30 | x+30 | 10 |
| Diagonal 1 | x-33 | x+33 | 11 |
| Diagonal 2 | x-27 | x+27 | 9 |
