Introduction: Tic-Tac-Toe (ttt)

Welcome to our tic-tac-toe project. ttt is a command-line tic-tac-toe game that supports multiple players (>=2), custom board sizes, custom player symbols, and a custom number of target symbols in a row. It is also designed to allow automatic play of entire games from the command-line for testing purposes. We would eventually like to include the possibility of computer-controlled opponents.

The purpose of the project is to give our intro to software engineering class an opportunity to practice git commands and collaborate on a small project.
