Assalamualaikum! Hello everyone, i hope y'all are fine and great. I thought and researched various topics to post and somehow came up with this tutorial. When i first cracked the code for this game, it was quite fun and I really enjoyed writing this code. This program will clear all your misunderstandings and will help you to create more games and write different programs. So lets get started,

Source

Step 1:

First of all, we'll create a board or pattern for the game with the help of dictionary.

board = {"1": " ", "2": " ", "3": " ", "4": " ", "5": " ", "6": " ", "7": " ", "8": " ", "9": " "}
board_key = []
player = 1
totalmoves = 0
endcheck = 0

Step 2:

Now we'll create a function. In this function we will create a loop for the board and the loop will break after total moves.

def tictactoe():
    totalmoves = 0
    player = 1

    r1 = ("1|2|3")
    r2 = "4|5|6"
    r3 = ("7|8|9")

    print(r1)
    print("-+-+-")
    print(r2)
    print("-+-+-")
    print(r3)

    while True:
        print(board["1"] + "|" + board["2"] + "|" + board["3"])
        print("-+-+-")
        print(board["4"] + "|" + board["5"] + "|" + board["6"])
        print("-+-+-")
        print(board["7"] + "|" + board["8"] + "|" + board["9"])

        endcheck = check()
        if totalmoves == 9 and endcheck == 0:
            print("Game Draw :( ")
            break

        if totalmoves == 9 or endcheck == 1:
            break

Step 3:

Now, in this step we'll create a loop for player's turn using an if else condition.

        while True:
            if player == 1:
                player1_input = input("Its your turn player1. Move to which place? ")
                if player1_input in board and board[player1_input] == " ":
                    board[player1_input] = "X"
                    player = 2
                    break
                else:
                    print("Invalid input")
                    continue
            else:
                player2_input = input("Its your turn player2. Move to which place? ")
                if board[player2_input] == " ":
                    board[player2_input] = "O"
                    player = 1
                    break
                else:
                    print("Invalid input")
                    continue
        totalmoves += 1


tictactoe()

Step 4:

In this step , first of all ,we will create another function and then in the function we will check player's 1 moves. If the condition fulfills then player 1 will be the winner.

def check():
    # checking moves of player1
    if board["1"] == board["2"] == board["3"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1
    if board["4"] == board["5"] == board["6"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1
    if board["7"] == board["8"] == board["9"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1
    if board["1"] == board["4"] == board["7"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1
    if board["2"] == board["5"] == board["8"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1
    if board["3"] == board["6"] == board["9"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1
    if board["1"] == board["5"] == board["9"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1
    if board["3"] == board["5"] == board["7"] == "X":
        print("*player1 won*")
        return 1

Step 5:

We'll check player's 2 moves now,

    if board["1"] == board["2"] == board["3"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    if board["4"] == board["5"] == board["6"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    if board["7"] == board["8"] == board["9"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    if board["1"] == board["4"] == board["7"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    if board["2"] == board["5"] == board["8"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    if board["3"] == board["6"] == board["9"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    if board["1"] == board["5"] == board["9"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    if board["3"] == board["5"] == board["7"] == "O":
        print("*player2 won*")
        return 1
    return 0

If the condition fulfills then player 2 will be the winner.

Step 6:

Now if user want to play again, so for that we'll create a while loop and ask the user whether he/she wanna restart or not using an if else condition.

while True:
    restart = input("Do you want to play again? (y/n) ").lower()
    if restart == "y":
        board = {"1": " ", "2": " ", "3": " ", "4": " ", "5": " ", "6": " ", "7": " ", "8": " ", "9": " "}
        tictactoe()
    elif restart == "n":
        print("Thanks for playing :)")
        break
    else:
        print("Invalid Choice")

That was all for this game, hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Show some love if you liked this post then I'll post more tutorials
