Video Game Creation

Hey, I’m creating a 2 player tic tac toe game and I’m unsure on how I would start programming it. So I was wondering if someone could help me or give me a suggestion. I going to make it simple by not asking what player1 name and player2 name is. so when you run the program, the first number entered by the user indicates the option the user is selecting. Inputs the current status of a standard tic tac toe board and outputs the board. If a place on the board is blank, a ‘b’ will be entered by the user.

Locations :
TL TM TR
ML MM MR
BL BM BR

Note: TL means ‘Top Left’, TM means ‘Top Middle’; TR means ‘Top Right’, etc.

This is how the input and output should look like

I guess my question would be, are you trying to create a program that takes a finished tic-tac-toe board configuration and prints out what it looks like? Or are you starting with a blank board and prompting each user in turn for a location in which to draw an X/O so that they may play the game?
