Notes

• Game board array is defined as board[y][x]
• Game board will follow the following structure:

'x' => x-axis OR the horizontal line OR columns
'y' => y-axis OR the vertical line OR rows

Example

board[2][0] refers to the 0th tile (or column) in 2nd row as in this case, x = 0 and y = 2. The specific tile is denoted the by '@' symbol in the following gameboard:

Note: row and column indexing starts at 0.
