A command line tic-tac-toe game in Golang

Tic Tac Go

I'm writing a command line tic-tac-toe game as I try to learn Golang! It seems to work OK as of this writing.

Running

go run game.go

Some Notes on My Plan

To check for a winner, I'm using a second array called sums that adds up each of the possible wins in the game of tic-tac-toe. (Fun fact: I used this idea (and drew the sketch below) back in 2013 as part of my admission test to The Flatiron School.)

Blog Post

Here is a long blog post I wrote about making this little game, first in Golang, then in Rust.

Where I've Been Learning Go From

This great YouTube video as well as "A Tour of Go".

If you have other resources-- especially for those coming from dynamic type languages like Ruby (oh, sweet, sweet Ruby)-- that you think would help me (or others), feel free to file an issue or hit me up on Mastodon!
