Implementation Details

The app uses SwiftUI for the user interface and follows a Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern:

• Board class: The model that holds the game state and logic
• ContentView: The view that displays the board and handles user interactions
• Assist functions: Methods in the Board class to analyze the board and detect patterns

The assist function analyzes the board each time a stone is placed, looking for various patterns like four in a row, three in a row, etc. It highlights these positions to help players make better decisions.
