I've created a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game using python3. The gameplay itself works exactly as it should, the only problem I'm having is that the reset function is not properly wiping the board. It sets the value, prints it out, and yet on the next operation uses the old value.
This crux of the matter is that when you select, yes, you would like to play again, the game instantly ends due to it using the finalized board from the previous game. I've tried a couple different things, but end up with the same result. Is it a problem with scope an obvious mistake in the code. The problem should be contained in the reset() function, everything else is there for context.
