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.

- 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:
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:
