So, I've been programming a game for a while now... I've tried various types of codes for restarting my program.. Right now, I lost the code that helped me ask the person if they wanted to play again, but is there any way for me to program the code to make it ask you if you would like to play again? If so, thanks!

 import random
import time

board = [0,1,2,
         3,4,5,
         6,7,8]

def show():
    print (board[0],"|",board[1],"|",board[2])
    print ("----------")
    print (board[3],"|",board[4],"|",board[5])
    print ("----------")
    print (board[6],"|",board[7],"|",board[8])

def checkLine(char, spot1, spot2, spot3):
    if board[spot1] == char and board[spot2] == char and board[spot3] ==char:
        return True

def checkAll(char):
    if checkLine(char, 0, 1, 2):
        return True
    if checkLine(char, 1, 4, 7):
        return True
    if checkLine(char, 2, 5, 8):
        return True
        
    if checkLine(char, 6, 7, 8):
        return True
    if checkLine(char, 3, 4, 5):
        return True
    if checkLine(char, 1, 2, 3):
        return True

    if checkLine(char, 2, 4, 6):
        return True
    if checkLine(char, 0, 4, 8):
        return True


while True:

    answer = input("Select a spot, any number 0 through 8:")
    answer = int(answer)

    time.sleep(1)

    if board[answer] != 'x' and board[answer] !='o':
        board[answer] = 'x'

        if checkAll('x') == True:
            print ("You win! Yay!")
            break;

        while True:
            random.seed()
            opponent = random.randint(0,8)

            if board[opponent] != 'o' and board[opponent] != 'x':
                board[opponent] = 'o'

                if checkAll('o') == True:
                    print ("You loose! That's to bad.")
                    break;

                break;

    else:
        print ("This spot is taken!")

    show()

Take all the code your currently have in while True and put it in a function called play. Then have another function like:

def main():
	random.seed() # only call this once
	while True:
		play()
		# ask if they want to play again
		# if no, break
	print("Thanks for playing")

main()

Honestly, your big problem is you don't know when to finish a game. Your play could look something like:

def play():
	board = [ str(i) for i in range(9) ]
	available = 9
	while True:
		show(board)
		playerTurn(board)
		avaiable -= 1
	
		if checkAll(board, 'x'):
			print ("You win! Yay!")
			break

		if available>0:
			computerTurn(board, available)
			avaiable -= 1
			if checkAll(board, 'o'):
				print ("You loose! That's to bad.")
				break
			
		if available<1:
			print ("Tie.")
			break
			
	show(board)

Note, global variable board is bad. Also, you need to reset it if you play again, anyway. Also,

Hope this helps.
