On “If I want a functional version of TicTacToe, where should I store the board's state?”
I'd say that you can model the state as an input to a recursive function. That way, you can run the game loop in a "pure" way except for the user input, which is inherently impure. See this video for a procedural example of tic-tac-toe in C, and then this follow up video for a pure functional version in haskell! Haskell is really good for showing this concept off because of it being a pure functional language.
