Im trying to add six functions which are six effects to this tic tac toe game.
For instance a remove all pieces function. Also, Im trying to restart the DIE roll after every turn made.

If I can get the remove all pieces function(reall) to work I can get other functions to work as well.

Here is sample code and download below that.

import time
import random

DIE = random.randrange(3) + 1
X = "X"
O = "O"
SPACE = ""
TIE = "TIE"
DINNER = 9

    print """

What problems are you having so far?

None, I just have no idea how to add a remove all pieces function.
Im assuming I should borrow from newboard function to do that.

Also, How do I restart the dice roll after every turn?

Okay, I have the dice roll working.
Now Im trying to figure out how to clear the board or take off a X or O off the board.

I simply added this function

def dieroll(board):
    DIE=random.randrange(2) + 1
    print "Your dice roll is", DIE
    if DIE == 1:
        print "This is effect one"
    elif DIE == 2:
        print "This is effect two"

and added dieroll(board) in maini

while not winner(board):
        if turn == human:
            dieroll(board)
            move = human_move(board, human)
            board[move] = human
        else:
            move = computer_move(board, computer, human)
            board[move] = computer
        dispboard(board)
        turn = next_turn(turn)
