Tic Tac Toe

This exercise is just to give you more practice with useState and useEffect. For the most part, this is just review, but there is one thing we'll be doing in this exercise we haven't done yet with useState and that is, it can actually accept a function. For example:
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

// then in a click event handler or something:
setCount(count + 1)

// but this is the exact same thing:
setCount(previousCount => previousCount + 1)
Because there are two ways to do the same thing, it's nice to know why/when you'd use one over the other. Here's the "rule":
If your new value for state is calculated based on the previous value of state, use the function form. Otherwise, either works fine.
For a deeper dive on this, read useState lazy initialization and function updates.
This one's a bit tougher than some of the other exercises, so make sure you're well hydrated and do a bit of stretching before starting this.
