Project 2: Tic-Tac-Toe Game

Introduction

 
In this chapter, we will learn to implement a Tic-Tac-Toe game in Python.
 

Tic-Tac-Toe 

 
Tic-Tac-Toe is a very simple two-player game. So only two players can play at a time. This game is also known as Noughts and Crosses or Xs and Os game. One player plays with X and the other player plays with O. In this game we have a board consisting of a 3X3 grid. The number of grids may be increased.
 
The Tic-Tac-Toe board looks like the following:
 
 

Game Rules 

  1. Traditionally the first player plays with "X". So you can decide who wants to go with "X" and who wants to go with "O".
  2. Only one player can play at a time.
  3. If any of the players have filled a square then the other player and the same player cannot override that square.
  4. There are only two conditions that may match will be a draw or may win.
  5. The player that succeeds in placing three respective marks (X or O) in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game.

Winning condition

 
Whoever places three respective marks (X or O) horizontally, vertically, or diagonally will be the winner.
 
The code for the game is as follows,
  1. import os      
  2. import time      
  3.       
  4. board = [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ']

  7. ########win Flags##########      
  8. Win = 1      
  9. Draw = -1      
  10. Running = 0      
  11. Stop = 1
