This a problem set for you to work through [1]

This is a problem set. Some of these are easy, others are far more difficult. The purpose of these problems sets are:

  1. to build your skill applying computational thinking to a problem
  2. to assess your knowledge and skills of different programming practices


What is this problem set trying to do[edit]

This problem set is testing your computational thinking, your skill and understanding of lists, and your skill and understanding of loops

The Problem[edit]

Your program must do three things:

  1. it must allow a human to play against a computer a game of tic tac toe
    1. your program must have win and lose conditions
  2. it must draw a tic tac to board, updated with x's and O's as the computer and human play.
  3. It must follow the rules of tic tac toe

Hacker edition[edit]

In the hacker version:

  • Your program should be good at playing tic tac toe
import random

# initialization stuff here: 

board = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
game = 0

# this function draws the board
def drawBoard():
    print("")
    print("")
    print(" (1) |   (2)    | (3) ")
    print("     |          |     ")
    print("----------------------")
    print(" (4) |   (5)    | (6) ")
    print("     |          |     ")
    print("----------------------")
    print(" (7) |   (8)    | (9) ")
    print("     |          |     ")
    
    return

# this function manages player mov
# es
def playerMove(move):
    return
99

# this function manages computer moves
def computerMove(computerMove):
    return

while True:
    print(drawBoard())
    move=input("Please choose a move (99 to quit): ")
    if move == "99":
        break
   # playerMove(move)


How you will be assessed[edit]

Your solution will be graded using the following axis:


Scope

  • To what extent does your code implement the features required by our specification?
  • To what extent is there evidence of effort?

Correctness

  • To what extent did your code meet specifications?
  • To what extent did your code meet unit tests?
  • To what extent is your code free of bugs?

Design

  • To what extent is your code written well (i.e. clearly, efficiently, elegantly, and/or logically)?
  • To what extent is your code eliminating repetition?
  • To what extent is your code using functions appropriately?

Style

  • To what extent is your code readable?
  • To what extent is your code commented?
  • To what extent are your variables well named?
  • To what extent do you adhere to style guide?
