More edits to Tic-Tac-Awe

After watching my kids play Tic-Tac-Awe, I decided to make some edits. One was an obvious one - drawing a line through the path that won the game (a line going across, down, or diagonal). That way young kids can see at a glance how they won or lost.

The other was replacing some sound files for when you win or lose. It now "cheers" and a deep voice says "You win" when you win, or simply states in a deep voice "You lose" when you lose.

I have a couple more things to finish. One is the "Credits" screen, where we will credit ourselves and the author of our music. The second will be trying to squash any memory leaks. The iPhone doesn't have a garbage-collector, which means you have to explicitly release objects when you are done with them. Else you get a memory leak. On the plus side, there doesn't seem to be a penalty for "over releasing" your objects. So when you are done with them, just make sure they are really and truly released.

Well, time to get ready for work.
