Tic-Tac-Toe checkers game
Hello there, I'm trying to make a game that is a combination of tic-tac-toe and checkers, looks like this:
(BTW it's not homework, is just a project).
1__2___3
|_/_|_\_|
4---5----6
|_\_|_/_|
7---8---9
(there is already a game like this but i couldn'd fint images of it).
On the first part of the code (I wrote comments on it so it will be easier), is the place where both; Player 1 and 2 get their 3 tokens on the board, yeah just 3, and on part 2 is the part supposed to let the Player 1, for now, move one of the tokens to a free space; but it doesn't work well, I made it with "if" loops but in some cases it does works but on the mayotity makes things that it weren't even supposed to happen.
Example:
x__o___-
|_/_|_\_|
-----o----x
|_\_|_/_|
o---------x
(Player 1 x
Palyer 2 o
-Player 1 tries to move the token on the right up corner to a spot
down, it deletes one of the "o"s and duplicates the "x".
I'll really be thanked if anyone could help me with this. Here's the code.
The code is too long so I can't post it here, thats why I uploaded it here

I made a function to display the board, instead of all those areas you would print it out,
And a small for loop to enter the pieces onto the board.
I'm now working on placing the players, and removing them. The way I understand what happens, is you can only move along a connecting line, so you can't go from space 1 to space 5. Can you jump an opponent? Would they be removed? If yes, then must they place it back on the board in any empty space on their turn? I need better instructions on the game play, to better understand the programming, thanks.

Hi, thanks for your help.
Yeah I should have had give more intructions about the game itself but here they are now.
Yes you can only move over those lines and just one space, like 1 to 2 or 4, but if the token of player 2 is there; then you won't be able to move it there.
Since is just moving one space, no, you can't jump another token, neither if its yours or from the opponent.
A token need a space to move if there are no spaces near it, then it won't move.
And you win when you get yours 3 token on a line, just like the normal tic-tac-toe.
And sorry if its to messy but I'm just starting.

Thanks for the added instructions. So far, I let players move their checker to an empty space, and ONLY if it's a legal move. I do not yet check if it's a winning move. I'll let you try your hand at the checking part. I'll add to it a bit later, like color, etc. Hope this helps a bit..
Good idea for a game, but it might be better ir it was a 5x5 board, and you still try to get three of yours in a row. Still allow only one move, etc.

Hi, thanks for your help whitenite1 I really appreciate it. I'll now make the checking for winners part but, could you answer some questions that I have about the code?
-What does '\x31' does/means?
-Why or what made the part 2 of my first code to not work properly? (the part where you move the tokens).

That's hex for one, '1'. So ''\x31' + 4, is 5. You're using char, so I couldn't just put Blanks[E1] = 4. Had to enter it as a char.. It's to put back the number in the space you moved from.
The main part I had trouble with, was you had everything using with a string, using double quotes, instead of single quotes, for char. So, I just redid it all, and shortened it.
You also had things like
Let me see how you make out on the winning part of the code. I'll help out if you need it.

You also had things like
if (E1 == 6 && (Sh == 3 || 7)), which is not really checking if Sh is 3 or Sh is 7. Just checks if 7 IS 7. Let me see how you make out on the winning part of the code. I'll help out if you need it.
