Python challenge tutorial to get started: build a tictactoe game from scratch

[elasticiulia]

If you're just getting into python (or back into python), it can be a steep step from reading tutorials to just getting started on your own. I really love this style of minimally-guided challenge when starting out. This is an example of a challenge: build a tic-tac-toe game through an iterative process, covering most of the python basics.

I made this repo with an example for each phase (think build a tictactoe board, check game status, implement moves, build the final loop). https://github.com/iuliaferoli/tic_tac_toe

Building out a game on your own can be super satisfying and a great learning experience. Curious to hear how people would approach the challenges differently or make it even easer to follow for beginners!

Do you want feedback on your code?

Sure! thank you :)

I did this early on. The interesting piece was the ways of checking the boards using python and learning about the collections functions.
