## Game-Over-Check (GOC)

Process for checking if the game is over:

- Write out the board position numbers and values for every possible 3-in-a-row
- Check each of the written combinations and see if there is a valid 3-in-a-row
- Announce the game is over if there is a valid 3-in-a-row

- Rows:
    - Row 1 - pos 1,2,3: ValValVal
    - Row 2 - pos 4,5,6: ValValVal
    - Row 3 - pos 7,8,9: ValValVal
- Columns:
    - Col 1 - pos 1,4,7: ValValVal
    - Col 2 - pos 2,5,8: ValValVal
    - Col 3 - pos 3,6,9: ValValVal
- Diagonals:
    - Diag 1 - pos 1,5,9: ValValVal
    - Diag 1 - pos 3,5,7: ValValVal
