Alone in the house together, Sephy and Callum have sex, and Sephy instantly bursts into tears afterwards. Jude and Morgan return before Sephy and Callum are fully dressed and while Sephy is still crying. They conclude that Callum raped Sephy, and they share that someone told the police about them: police arrested Leila, Pete is dead, and Andrew is gone. Jude and Callum fight and while they’re distracted, Sephy runs away into the woods. Callum finds her before Jude or Morgan can, and he points her toward safety. Before she leaves, Sephy shares that Andrew is working with Mr. Hadley—Andrew is the man she saw meeting with Mr. Hadley years ago. Sephy gets home safely, and Callum, Morgan, and Jude split up for their safety. Technically, Andrew Dorn is the General’s second-in-command in the Liberation Militia—but Sephy and Callum discover that Andrew is actually a spy.

She works for the Hadley family and dreams of Callum… The average level uses either idiot level or genius level at random with 50:50 probability. __computer_move_genius Sephy watches the case unfold on the news from home, and she knows Dad is innocent. Callum is suspended from school for no reason, but he’s somewhat hopeful about Dad’s prospects when an anonymous benefactor—presumably Sephy—pays for one of the best lawyers in the country, Kelani Adams, to represent Dad. But though Dad pleads not guilty to all the charges, and though Kelani mounts an impressive case, the jury finds Dad guilty of all the charges.

Running the Program

This is one of the functions passed to the NaC class's __init__, and is called by the NaC class when either the computer or the user make a move. It therefore just needs to draw an "X" or "O" in the correct square. on_game_over Months later, out of the blue, Jude approaches Callum at a burger joint and invites him to join the LM. Feeling he has no other options, Callum agrees. At the same time, Sephy’s parents have finally agreed that she can go away to boarding school—but Sephy writes Callum a letter asking him to run away with her instead. Callum doesn’t read the letter until it’s too late, so he and Sephy part ways for two and a half years. During this time, Callum works his way up the LM ranks, hurting and killing Crosses and losing his humanity in the process. Sephy quits drinking, finds herself at school, and joins a resistance group. She decides to be a lawyer like Kelani Adams when she grows up. One of the best attorneys in the country, Mrs. Hadley secretly hires Kelani Adams to represent Ryan, the supposed bomber of the Dundale Shopping Center. She’s a Cross, and even Sephy, who… This function creates a list of nine dictionaries representing the nine possible win paths, ie straight lines of three squares. Each dictionary contains the row/column numbers of the three squares as well as the counts of each of the three possible states of a square: empty, "O" and "X". __populate_win_paths

If it is starting the game the computer will always select the centre square. Otherwise it uses a list of win paths which I'll describe in a moment to find the optimum square. The stages it goes through are: Juno Ayelette is Mr. Hadley’s personal secretary, and she seems almost as famous as her boss. Like Mr. Hadley, she’s callous and obsessed with preserving the Hadley family’s reputation—so when she discovers that Minnie… Mrs. Paxton is Callum and Sephy’s math teacher at Heathcroft. To Callum’s extreme relief, and despite her being a dark-skinned Cross, she’s one of the only teachers who treats Callum like an actual… Dionne is a year above Sephy at Heathcroft. After Sephy attempts to sit with the noughts at lunch, she, Lola, and Joanne brutally beat Sephy up. Several years later, after he joins the Liberation…Callum is a nought - a second class citizen in a world run by Crosses. Sephy is a Cross - daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country. Noughts and Crosses simply don't mix, but they are determined to try. Not essential as I could just use arbitrary numbers or strings but it does make the code neater. __init__

Mr. Stoll is a witness Kelani Adams calls in Ryan’s trial. A Cross and a former police detective, Mr. Stoll was at the mall café when Callum drug Sephy out to protect her. He’s… Showing the level is done by a separate function so it can be called without redrawing the whole game. on_game_changed Start making the tic-tac-toe grid by defining display_board()function, which will display it in a grid format when printed def display_board(board): Next the players’ marker are made by creating player_input()function by using while loop for player 1 to choose his/her marker; X or O. Once the marker has been chosen by player 1, then the alternate marker is automatically allotted to player 2 using if function. def player_input():

For placing the marker on a given position, define a function handle_turn() in which pass 3 parameters; board, marker and position. In this board would be the tic-tac-toe grid. Marker would be X and O. Position would be the spot where the marker would be placed on the board. Equate marker to the position on the board. I have been learning Python for a while now. As one of my first mini-projects I designed a simple tic-tac-toe game. It is a common 2-player game where one player plays crosses (X) and the other plays naughts(O), each player taking turns to play. The player who gets three marks on the board in a row, column, or diagonally, wins. In case neither of the players is able to get this, the game then ends in a draw. The steps to create this game on Python using some of the basic functions are described in the succeeding steps. Step 1: Grid Board Design
