Hey Horst, thanks so much for doing a write up of the code!

Thanks a lot for writing this code mate.It would be nice if you had an explanation for this.

yeah its awesome...i want to know if anyone can help me
i want to make it so that people can play it on a network or via hotspot

You might want to define the numbers that draw the game. Also might be nice to ask if players want to play again

For the following cases, printBoard is called twice -

X X X
X O O
X O O

X O O
X X O
X O X

The conditions on lines 52 and 56 should include (not winner) and

A very efficient way to create Tic Tac Toe game in python.

same code with "Lost" condition

while not winner:
printBoard()

if (len(checkturns) == 9 and winner == False):

tnx............. bro

Amazing code but it doesn't have a way to show the game is draw

I kinda changed the code to solve that

Doesn't stop when game draws...
