It's time to work with external packages yourself.
0:03
We're going to do something similar for the practice exercises
0:06
as you saw me do in this video.

Over here in the GitHub Repository
0:10
we have our practice exercises for external packages
0:14
couple of concepts, working with requirements.txt
0:17
virtual environments, how to do it
0:19
on the various operating systems, working with pip
0:21
and once you get all those all of those down
0:23
you should be good to go.
0:24
Your goal in this one is going to either work
0:26
with the old tic tac toe game or the Connect 4 game.
0:30
And basically what you're going to do
0:31
is you're going to use Colorama to add colored output
0:34
to the game, and the steps will be
0:36
create a a virtual environment
0:37
make sure that Python is the
0:40
that it's the right active interpreter
0:42
and make sure you set that virtual environment
0:44
as the active interpreter.
0:45
Use requirements.txt to specify you depend upon Colorama.
0:49
Install those requirements with pip or with PyCharm.
0:52
It detects it and suggests them
0:53
and then use colorama.four.green and so on
0:57
to add colored output to your game.
