This wording might have been confusing, so lemme explain this better:

Anytime there is a device I can program, or a new programming language I'm learning, I program tic-tac-toe. What is yours? Do you have one?

Wall of fame:

I've made tic-tac-toe on my robotics team's VEX V5 robot brain

Rounding function by @BigNate469

I haven’t done it, but a Bad Apple!! music player and Doom are common ones.

Interesting. I'm thinking more making a game than just running it (like doom).

Sometimes when I'm using a new programming language, I write some code for it in Python and then transfer it to that new language (sometimes c, sometimes rust, idk)

Interesting. For me I often modify example programs to my heart's content, and then make tic-tac-toe.

Personally, I typically make a basic calculator with a round function (if there's one built into the language, I re-create it), because it covers all the basic programming principles: getting user input, functions, variables, if-statements, loops (I make it repeat indefinitely, like an actual calculator), and displaying output.

It's possible in any Turing-complete language (which means that it's possible on any Turing-complete computer), so I also do this when I'm learning a new programming language.

Nice!
