tictactoe loop error

Question

I started to write a very simple tic tac toe game, to see how far I get. I wrote a piece of code for player 1 to make a move.

It works as it should, except when I try to make a loop out of it to be able to make multiple moves. Then I get a traceback error after the first move. What did I do wrong?

-----------------------------

board = ["_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_"]
boardmove = {"A1": 0, "B1": 1, "C1": 2, "A2": 3, "B2": 4, "C2": 5, "A3": 6, "B3": 7, "C3": 8}
movenumber = 9
user1_move = ""
user2_move = ""

def move1(user1_move):
#input move
print("Player 1: make a move")
user1_move = input()
if "A" not in user1_move and "B" not in user1_move and "C" not in user1_move:
print("This is not a valid move")
elif "1" not in user1_move and "2" not in user1_move and "3" not in user1_move:
print("This is not a valid move")
else:
#replace chosen field with X
board[boardmove.get(user1_move)] = "X"
#print new board situation
print(" A B C")
print("")
print("1 " + str(board[:3]))
print("")
print("2 " + str(board[3:6]))
print("")
print("3 " + str(board[6:]))
print("")

while movenumber > 0:
move1(user1_move)
movenumber -= 1

Answer 1

your code works fine, but it will not work correctly on SoloLearn's code Playground, because of while loop
. Sololearn is not an interactive console.
you have to enter all 9 moves at once.
like :
A1
A2
... other moves
C3
then submit

Thanks! In the meantime I finished the whole Tic Tac Toe code in PyCharm and it works :-))))
