🧩 Running the TicTacToe VS Code Extension

Follow these steps to get the extension up and running inside VS Code:

⚙️ Setup

1. Open a terminal in VS Code.

2. Run the following commands one by one:

   npm install
   npm run compile
   npm run watch

   💡 Note: The npm run watch command will not complete — this is expected behavior since it continuously watches for changes.

3. After that, check the bottom taskbar in VS Code:
