Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

unclear what you're asking

#

I suspect you want to be able to do something sensible with various kinds of input

#

like you want the user to be able to say "the middle square", or "second column, second row", etc, and "understand" that

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

yes like the player can write a lot of things to mean actually one

opal ruin Jan 17, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

if that's the case, then I suggest: give up. It's too hard.

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

fck

opal ruin Jan 17, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

Instead give the user a short list of options from which to choose

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

alr

#

but there is a possibility to do it isn't it?

opal ruin Jan 17, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

of course it's possible

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

I mean that's what I wanna know

opal ruin Jan 17, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

it's just very hard

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

ok ok

opal ruin Jan 17, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

you'd probably need AI or something 🙂

#

you could change the input into a standardised version, for example you might implement the meanings of low and mid, so you could take any input, such as low Mid and first turn all letters into lower case -> low mid and then try to split on all the possible connecting characters, like ' ', ',', '-' etc. which should give you a list ['low', 'mid'], then you check whether your list looks like what you would expect (exactly 2 words, both being defined in your program) and if it doesn't, ask for a new input

opal ruin Jan 17, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

at the very least, you'd need some fancy library that processes natural language.

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

onyx hollow you could change the input into a standardised version, for example you might im...

alright wait let me understand what you mean

#

Ok I do understand

#

but I don't think it's that worth

#

I'm trying to build a tic tac toe but to do that it would take me so long am I right?

onyx hollow Jan 17, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

you could also allow for multiple versions of the word "low" that you define yourself, but if you want the player to be able to do what offby1 said, i.e. any combination of commands that mean what you want them to mean, then you would need some sort of chatgpt wrapper that translates what the player says into words that you have defined, such as low and mid, to then proceed with the game

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

Ok thank you so much

#

I think I could try the first idea

#

btw nice photo, I like that game

onyx hollow Jan 17, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

basically, install openai api and prompt chatgpt with "I need to translate a user command into commands for my bot that plays tic tac toe. Please translate this <user input> into a combination of exactly two words and only use words 'low', 'mid', 'top' as your output so my program can understand you." Then take the output of chatgpt and feed it into your game

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

what's an api?

onyx hollow Jan 17, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

a way to communicate with a server via commands that the developers allowed you to use

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

and how do I use that?

onyx hollow Jan 17, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

https://github.com/openai/openai-python

#

it may be paid, I'm not sure what the pricing is there

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

alr I'm not paying then

onyx hollow Jan 17, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

chatgpt has a free version, I just dont know how exactly the api is priced, would have to look it up

fickle oyster Jan 17, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

it's ok don't worry

#

thanks

#

do you know how to do to delete this conversation?

#

so others questions can be showed
