My first Tic Tac Toe program. I welcome any code reviews and pull requests!
A joke repo by Al Sweigart (author of 'Automate the Boring Stuff') where the 'beginner' tic-tac-toe program is actually a code-generated monstrosity. The gag is that it looks like a naive first project but is anything but. Not a learning resource.
The bit lands — the generated code is genuinely funny if you know what you're looking at. Sweigart's name gives it credibility as intentional satire rather than accidental chaos. The code generator itself (generate_ttt.py) is a reasonable demonstration of why you don't unroll game logic by hand.
It's a one-joke repo with no reuse value whatsoever. The README is almost entirely blank, so anyone stumbling in without context will be confused rather than amused. 645 stars is entirely reputation-driven — the code itself teaches nothing and does nothing useful.
