Devlog #10:

The bot is finally fixed. Now it (almost) never misses tactics, and it plays about 10 times faster thanks to better scanning.

So essentially what I did was for every empty spot on the board, it scans for a specified pattern. If a pattern is found, it returns the coordinates, which are then placed. If somehow there are no patterns, the bot either tries to get 2 in a row or plays randomly.

the screenshot is me losing to my own creation. probably because i lowkey have a skill issue
