Two tiles to start

What we are doing

A game starts with two tiles in random cells.

```js
function newGame() {
  // Array.from calls the function for every row, so each row is its own array.
  board = Array.from({ length: SIZE }, () => Array(SIZE).fill(0))
  addTile()
  addTile()
}
```

What it means

• Two calls, two tiles: the second call only sees the cells still empty after the first.

Your turn

At the end of newGame, under the board = ... line, call addTile() twice.
