Board game

I cannot pass this challenge

boards.py 
class Board:
    def __init__(self, width, height):
        self.width = width
        self.height = height
        self.cells = []
        for y in range(self.height):
            for x in range(self.width):
                self.cells.append((x, y))
class TicTacToe(Board):
    def __init__(self,width=3,height=3)
    super().__init__(self,width=3,height=3)

The init method for the TicTacToe class should not have width and height as parameters because width and height have to always be 3.

The parameters for the super().init should not take self as a parameter because it refers to an instance of the parent class not itself.

def init(self,width=3,height=3)

By writing the code above, you are setting the default value of width and height to 3 but it can still be changed by using different parameters. You want to make it so that the width and height are always 3.

Below is how I would solve the challenge

class Board:
    def __init__(self, width, height):
        self.width = width
        self.height = height
        self.cells = []
        for y in range(self.height):
            for x in range(self.width):
                self.cells.append((x, y))

class TicTacToe(Board):
    def __init__(self):
        width=3
        height=3
        super().__init__(width,height)

You have made a few little mistakes:

class TicTacToe(Board):
    def __init__(self, width, height):
        super().__init__(width=3, height=3)

Firstly you missed your colon at the end of the __init__, you also don't need to pass self in when using super(). Hope this helps, feel free to ask any questions
