improving my tic tac toe game

[papacuerpz]

Im trying to twist this tic tac toe I made , I want to make it in to 5x5 grid or 6x6 grid , but the rules are quite different , if player one forms a straigh "XXX" on the grid , the player scores , but the game continues until all the boxes are occupied . In short , the many straight XXX or OOO you have , the more points you will earn. CAN anyone give suggestions/ideas where to start or to change ?

PS : NEVERMIND THE COMMENTS its our native language :)

where to start? use [ code] tags when you are posting sections of code on the forum.

oh and don't attack the problem until you understand it.
