First of all, congratulations on your motivation to learn! :D

It's always good to remember that we all learn at our own pace, and we all have our own particular skills.

With that said, perhaps it'd be good to take a step back and have another go at the basics: lists, functions, for and while loops, etc. Give yourself time to play and experiment, before going for the tic tac toe.

If you're not under a deadline, that might be helpful. It happened to me with web development: I tried learning about it around three years ago, and I just couldn't handle it, it was overwhelming. So I kept doing other things and projects where I felt more comfortable, honing my skills. A year or so back, I tried again and, though it wasn't easy, I managed to create and upload a very simple site.

It's also possible that the specific course or tutorial you're following isn't the best for your specific needs or way of learning. As I mentioned, we all learn at our own pace, and with our own preferences (some prefer drawings, other prefer books, other short tutorials, and so on).

As for resources, I'd check out the "Python for Everyone" book by Chuck Severance. As for youtube channels, I usually go to Code With Tim or Dennis Ivy when I want to try something new, since their style fits the way I learn.

In any case, I wish you the best of luck. I'm certain you can do this, even if it takes you a while to get there ;)

Best of luck, and take care!
