TIC-TAC-TOE Terminal Game

My first python project as part of CS 101 on codecademy

This is a 2 player tic tac toe game that utilizes

  • classes
  • lists
  • dictionary

The game itself was reletively simple to make; however, I did have an issue finding a way to interact with the Player class for ending the game. I eventually found it was a simple syntax error. Another challenge was refactoring the code for accidential/intentional player input errors.

The majority of the work was done using the JUNO app when I was not at home so I did not get to keep track of my commits using git like I wanted to.

Feedback

  1. Feedback on overall presentation would be greatly appreciated.
  2. How someone would code this using decorators as I feel the majority of the functions use other functions continually.
  3. I also feel like I passed in a lot of class objects to these functions and some of them might be redundant.
  4. How to better improve the display_board function
    • As it is now the display_board displays on the terminal as a list I would have liked to have made that function so it does not display ['-', '-', '-'] this way and instead displayed [ - - - ] I attempted a couple of for loops but my only idea would have been to convert each list item to a string and have it display on the terminal.
    • I do plan on implementing tkinter GUI as a part of this code for a later date

I am unsure if the codebyte is working it gives me an EOFError but it works fine in workspace and other IDE
