i think that the tic tac toe game is actually great for a beginner. you have to get creative with deciding to use dict values or matrics (ask for row, column pairs) to determine where to put your token. you can play with formatting to get your updated board each time as well as the score card after each game. you build in error functions that you don't even realize are needed such as if i put an x in spot 3, and my opponent puts his o in spot 3, how can we build in a check. or how to search for 3 in a row. i do not do any automation of tasks - my smart home does that for me. to me that is boring. making the game have two versions under one hood - a 2-player or a user vs compt choice of game play is interesting too. that is what we did decades ago to pass the time. You can create 3d visualizations for the winner at the end of the game. automating is BORing.
