title: Making a checkers board in python
body: <p>I am trying to make a 2D array that is 8x8 for a checkers game in python. How would I go about doing this?
  Here is my current code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Board():    
      board = [[]]
  
      def __init__(self,width,height):
          self.width = width
          self.height = height
  
      def __repr__(self):
          print(self.board)
  
      def setup(self):
          for y in range(self.height):
              for x in range(self.width):
                  self.board[y].append(0)
  
  board = Board(8,8)
  board.setup()
  print(board.board)
  </code></pre>
