Draw a Tic Tac Toe Board using Python-Turtle

The Task Here is to Make a Tic Tac Toe board layout using Turtle Graphics in Python. For that lets first know what is Turtle Graphics.

Turtle graphics

In computer graphics, turtle graphics are vector graphics using a relative cursor upon a Cartesian plane. Turtle is drawing board like feature which let us to command a turtle and draw using it.

Features of turtle graphics:

• backward(length): moves the pen in the backward direction by x unit.
• right(angle): rotate the pen in the clockwise direction by an angle x.
• left(angle): rotate the pen in the anticlockwise direction by an angle x.
• penup(): stop drawing of the turtle pen.
• pendown(): start drawing of the turtle pen.

Approach

• import the turtle modules.

import turtle

• Get a screen to draw on.

ws = turtle.Screen()

The screen will look like this.

Screen

• Define an instance for turtle.
• Here, i had manually set the speed of the turtle to 2.
• For a drawing a Tic Tac Toe board first we have to make an outer Square.
• Then we will Make inner lines of the square which will ultimately make up the board.
• For inner lines i had used penup(),goto() and pendown() method to take the pen up and then take it down at certain coordinates.
• The inner lines will make up the Tic Tac Toe board perfectly.
  

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Python3

import turtle


# getting a Screen to work on
ws=turtle.Screen()

# Defining Turtle instance
t=turtle.Turtle()

# setting up turtle color to green
t.color("Green")

# Setting Up width to 2
t.width("2")

# Setting up speed to 2
t.speed(2)

# Loop for making outside square of
# length 300
for i in range(4):
    t.forward(300)
    t.left(90)


# code for inner lines of the square
t.penup()
t.goto(0,100)
t.pendown()

t.forward(300)

t.penup()
t.goto(0,200)
t.pendown()

t.forward(300)

t.penup()
t.goto(100,0)
t.pendown()

t.left(90)
t.forward(300)

t.penup()
t.goto(200,0)
t.pendown()


t.forward(300)

Output:
