how to solved the problem with check winner in tictactoe

greg98 (11)
Hi guys. I started the TicTacToe nxn project. I thought the program was working properly because entering 5 of the same characters vertically, horizontally or diagonally gave a win, but it turned out that it was enough to enter 5 of the same characters anywhere and the computer recognizes it as a win. how to solve this problem? I'm a suoer beginner, thanks for your help :)

why pass std::string via pointer-pointer? Why not just by ref?

Rather than while (1 == 1) for an infinite loop with break, just use while (true)

Instead of endl, use '\n' which doesn't keep doing a buffer flush every time.

how to solve this problem


Now is a good time to get to grips with the debugger. As you're designed and written the code, you should know how it is expected to work. Use the debugger to step through the code to see its flow and the contents of variables. When something is not as expected, then you're found an issue. Repeat until the program works.

Which compiler are you using?

I was looking on the internet how I can do it and I came across, for example, with pointers-thats why. Can you explain how to do this by ref?please

ok

I'm using codeblocks GNU GCC Compiler

It's easier if you use a std::vector rather than allocating memory - and then freeing it (which isn't being done). Also why string and not char - you're only storing one char. That's what threw me in the first place when I saw string**. To test for a win, shouldn't you test each col for the same piece, each row for the same piece and the diagonals?

Excluding diagonals, possibly:

L10 No. You don't need inrow. See my code L92 L103.

The diagonal code needs to first check that [0][0] is not a space as per the previous checks. It's also in the wrong place. It needs to come after the previous loop, not as part of it.

right?

next double loop for x ,y?

For a non-square board, what does a diagonal win look like?

For a non-square board, aren't there more than 2 winning diagonals - or what is being called a diagonal win?? For a 3 col 2 row board, there could be 4 winning diagonals depending upon what is classed as a diagonal win.
greg98 (11)
I got lost in all this, I am not a programmer, a board of a certain size is easier to understand, it is difficult for me. If you know what the code should look like and would like to present it to me with an explanation, I would be very grateful. If that's too much for you, no problem. Thank you for your advices earlier :)
seeplus (6597)
Before anyone writes code for diagonal wins for a non-square board, it needs to be known what constitutes a diagonal win. You need to specify this.

Alternatively, just use a square board with the same number of rows and cols. This makes the code easier.

I am not a programmer


But you're writing a tictactoe game?
greg98 (11)
But you're writing a tictactoe game?

yup, just for fun.

Before anyone writes code for diagonal wins for a non-square board, it needs to be known what constitutes a diagonal win. You need to specify this.


100% agree, it is difficult for me so I will try with the same number of columns, any advice?

// here draw?

A draw would happen if all spaces are taken and no one has won. You can use an int to count each turn. If the int reaches the total of number of spaces and no winner is declared, then call it game over and it is a draw.

For a draw (no square is ' ' - or not a draw is if at least one square is ' '), you'd need to have check_winner() to return say -1 for a draw and also have the calling code check for that value as well as 0 or 1.

Replace return 0 in check_winner() with:

1
2
3
4
5

for (int i = 0; i < x; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < x; ++j)
        if (board[i][j] == ' ')
            return 0;

return -1;


and after L190 in my code test for anyone_has_won == -1 for a draw.
