Tic-Tac-Toe (made easy) - 1.0

It is Tic-Tac-Toe coded so simply that anyone can follow it.


Joshua Powell
(powellj6)

It is just a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game coded very simply with comments describing what each piece of code does.

I did it to prove that there was another way of doing it because I just didn't understand the other tic-tac-toe game code I kept finding. It was just too complicated. So here it is, hopefully, dumbed down enough for even the most greenest of noob.

Nothing fancy, just simple ASCII Art for the Tic-Tac-Toe Board.

Also, it is coded in Python 3.1 Any ealier versions of Python will not run this game. Windows, Mac, others. It really shouldn't matter what you use but if you are having some problems with it or find some bugs leave a comment and I'll fix them and have a new version out. All comments and criticisms are welcome.

Enjoy, J

    It didn't work for me. It couldn't recognise a lowercase x nor an uppercase X.

    Sounds like you're not using Python 3.1. Try that instead and if it doesn't work then I'll look into it further

    August 21, 2011 6:49pm - Zachariah Callaway - nickname: (xzcallaway)Opps sorry. I posted that on the wrong tic tac toe.August 21, 2011 5:11am - Jouni Järvinen - nickname: (rautamiekka)@masterlee
    No, §python§ on my system leads to Python v2.7. I tested by explicitly calling the exe with same result but calling v3.1 worked.August 20, 2011 10:53pm - Zachariah Callaway - nickname: (xzcallaway)Man for you, that program is huge. I'm used to seeing the tiniest little codes that always make me scratch my head. I love looking at those tiny little things.August 20, 2011 6:03pm - Carsten Eggers - nickname: (masterlee)@rautamiekka
    It appears you started the program with Python 3. In Python 3 the usage of the input function hat changed. In python input is exactly the same as raw_input. Thats the reason for the bug. Use 3to2.py or python3 itself to get rid of the problem. For an quick ahck you could also write input=raw_input in the first line of ATicTacToeJPVersion.py.

    Unfortunately multiple white spaced will be folded to one space on html pages.

    Apparently the comment system fucked up, not submitting my first comment, so here it goes again:

    Looking interesting, but there's a grave bug.
