One idea is to have a data source set up with three rows like this:

```auto
X – O
– – O
X – – 

```

Loop through the rows and find available blanks (“–”). Put those in a list of objects structured like this:

```auto
row: #
col: #
player: "–"

```

You can then choose a random item from that new list and place an X or O at the row/col position.
