Nice program!

amazing content to learn from for beginners like me.

its showing error in move = int(input())
when ever we put any char value its shows error

Can you please help me with my code for tic-tac-toe (2 player). The output gets printed three times.
Here is the link to the code.

@Avishekp6460 why are you inputting char values? if you wish to fix that (even there's no reason to), just implement a try-except statement.

well this was useful!

Hey can someone give me a logic walkthrough? or some resources that can be refered to?

Very helpful, thanks

can you use in this program that works restart the program use the if else condition or Y/N

Thanks 😎✌

you know what, you can beat this AI with 4, 2, 5, 8. again and again
