react.js does not update DOM after having changed state array
<p>I am trying to implement a game in react where I have the board as an two dimensional array in the initial state of the parent class. Tiles are rendered by iterating through that array. I pass those children a function as a prop so that they can change that state array.</p>

<p>Now, when I use that function to change the array, the HTML does not update. The array gets updated when I call setState but it never rerenders. I tried this.forceUpdate() but still no luck. What I then did was to pass a function from that child to the parent through the function to update that child's state and this works, but I need the function from the parent to call itself recursively to update the board. I feel like I might have hit an anti-pattern. How could I change my code in order for the DOM to update, please?</p>

<p>There is parts missing but those are all the components involved. statusBoard is the internal version of the board featuring the solution. I hope this is clear.</p>
