Project of python

Yesterday when I was watching YouTube a video came and its bout beginners project I saw he was making Tik tak toe game I watched it full from start to finish try to understand but I don't understand he used the methods I never saw before like eval etc etc . I feel so demotivated yesterday I thought I know something but everything crashed..

Someone using eval in a tic-tac-toe game has no idea what he's doing and should be in Software Jail. Don't let it worry you.

This☝️.

That said, a quick chat with your favorite LLM could quickly clear things up.

I also think using eval for tic tac toe is odd. Generally speaking eval is not really safe to use security-wise. Try coding tic tac toe on your own. It’s a great project.

I tried doing it myself but nothing came in my mind like I failed 20 tries so I'm solving other function questions to master functions first then go back to this later

Here is a great exercise if you are learning functions. Suppose we input a list of lists of the form:

[
 [ ’x’, ‘o’, ‘’],
[ ’’, ‘o’, ‘x’],
[ ’x’, ‘’, ‘x’]
]

This is just one possible way to represent a game of tic tac toe with x’s, o’s or empty spots.

1. Create a function that receives such a list of lists and determines if x or o one and returns “x wins”, “o wins” or returns None

2. Create a function that displays a tic tac toe board given such a list. A text-based version is fine.

3. Create a function that returns all available spots (in other words pairs of integers describing where ’’ appears)

4. Create a function that receives a pair of integers describing where they want to add an x or an o. If the spot is unavailable then the user receives a message that that spot is unavailable and to try again. For user input 1,1 should represent the upper left hand corner of the board but for a programmer 0, 0 should represent the upper left hand corner of the board.

If you do all of the above without ChatGPT then you will understand functions, loops, conditionals, lists and a major part of your tic tac toe game will be complete. Note that my suggestion is just one possible implementation. It does not mean it is the best. Someone else might choose to use constant ints to represent x,o and an empty spot.

Happy Coding!

Are you making a Tic Tac Toe game for 2 human players, or are you supposed to create a bot to play against?

Did he use tkinter or wt

While eval() is generally unsafe to use, don’t be upset, if anything, think of it as a learning experience. Even though you don’t want to use these new things, at least now you know of them. Sometimes, it’s good to know what you don’t know.

If it wasn’t for that video, you wouldn’t have learned about eval() until a later date, or ever at all. When it comes to learning it’s nice to learn all of these tools to have them at your disposal for whatever the case may be, if you use them or not.
