Python Tic Tac Toe

A typical Tic Tac Toe game written in Python.

Dependencies

The game itself only depends on Python 2.x.

The tests rely on pytest and mock.

Installation

Recommended Installation:

I highly recommend installing Python using Homebrew:

brew install python

Note that a fresh Homebrew installation of Python may take several minutes. Homebrew will also install pip, a popular Python package manager.

The tests are run using pytest. After the Homebrew installation completes, install pytest using:

pip install -U pytest

Finally, you'll need to install mock:

pip install -U mock

That's it! You're ready to go.

Unrecommended Installation:

You likely can use the version of Python that comes pre-installed with your system (not recommended) or install Python manually (also not recommended)

You will need a Python package manager to install pytest. I recommend installing pip.

pip install -U pytest

Followed by:

pip install -U mock

If you're using pip, you're done!

If you're not using pip, you'll have to use easy_install. This will require an additional step.

easy_install -U pytest

Followed by:

easy_install -U mock

If you're using easy_install, you're done!

Playing

The game is currently configured to be run in the terminal. To play, clone the repo and then cd into the newly created directory. After that, type:

python play.py

Testing

Assuming everything was installed properly, you can simply use the following command to run the tests:

py.test -v
