Game help 2!

Fallenfantasy182 (15)
Hi, Sorry Im posting too much. But Ive reworked the code abit. If you have a compiler put it in and see how the program runs because im not sure how to describe the error. But it was a pretty big error. Maybe I forgot bits I dont know, but im not sure if the logic is right. I really need help on this asap. Thanks, Maryann

Hi there,

You need to call the Print_Grid() function in main(), or it will never display the board to the user:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
while (gameover == false) //one while-loop is enough
{
Print_Grid(Grid);
determine_turn();
get_move();
check_win();
}


Change your print_grid function as follows:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
 
void Print_Grid (char[] Grid) //must add Grid name, or the function still won't know it.
{
cout << "___________________________\n";
cout << " | | \n";
cout << Grid [0] && "|" && Grid [1] && "|" && Grid [2];
cout << " | | \n";
cout << "___________________________\n";
cout << " | | \n";
cout << Grid [3] && "|" && Grid [4]&& "|" && Grid [5];
cout << " | | \n";
cout << "___________________________\n";
cout << " | | \n";
cout << Grid [6] && "|" && Grid [7] && "|" && Grid [8];
cout << " | | \n";
cout << "___________________________\n";
}


And in order for your check_win function to work properly, change:

1
2
3
 
char Grid[9] = {'_','_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_', '_'};
char Grid[9] = { '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' };
//if we make them all underscores they are all equal, so check win will think someone won


In order to end the game you will have to do something more, to break out of the while() loop in main().
You will have to set the gameover variable to true when someone has won - but I'll leave that up to you.

All the best,
NwN

okay this is the code now. But im still stuck on it. :(
The game board is reprinted after everymove underneath the last one, but it is not filled with 'X' or 'O' it just keeps repeating it self. If you compile it you'll see what I mean. Is there anyway i can work the code to not do that?

Hi,

You're using ampersands in your cout statements:

    cout <<  Grid [0] && "|" && Grid [1] && "|" && Grid [2];  // see the && here
    cout << "         |        |        \n";

Replace those by << .
On a sidenote, you can greatly reduce your amount of code by doing the following:

        if((cin >> move) && move < 9 && move >0)
        {
             Grid[move-1] = 'X'
        }
        else
        {
            std::cout << "Invalid position.";
        }
    }
    else
    {
        cout << playertwo << " select location for '0'" << endl;

        if((cin >> move) && move < 9 && move >0)
        {
             Grid[move-1] = 'O'
        }
        else
        {
            std::cout << "Invalid position.";
        }
    }
}


Even this could be reduced further - but i'll leave that up to you.

line 23, 27, 31: Replace && with << and add spaces

line 186: foundwinner = true is an assignment. use ==

I doubt that the if on line 160 is correct. I mean you need 3 in row. So why do you compare only 2?

I'd suggest that you use a 2-dimensional array as the grid. That'd make it more obvious.

I think your table output looks a lot nicer (both in console and in code) if you use a for loop.

  cout << "\n\n";
  for (int i=0; i < 9; i+=3)
  {
    cout << "   |   | \n";
    cout << " " << Grid[i] << " | " << Grid[i+1] << " | " << Grid[i+2] << "\n";
    if(i != 6)
      cout << "___|___|___\n";
    else
      cout << "   |   | \n";
  }
  cout << "\n\n";
}


The if/else is purely to make the formatting of the table a little nice. You can omit it if you're not too pedantic.

I tried ^ that format
I got a compiling error in the line 'for (int i=0; i < 9; i+=3)'
it says: "error: 1value required as left operand of assignment"
MrHutch (1822)
No idea why that is. Works fine for me, VS2010.

Do you think I need to declare anything or add anything earlier in the code or something?

Repost your code if you will - maybe you made an error pasting the function?

You've put 1+=3 in your code, not i+=3.
Fallenfantasy182 (15)
it didnt work anyways. I ran the program and it just kept extending an array with random symbols. Ill have to revert back to the old array. Even theni ts not going to work properly. Cause it keeps going and wont find a winner. Also it writes 'The winner is 0' at the end of every turn.
I played it making sure X got 3 in a row and it kept going.
MrHutch (1822)
Yeah dude, I gave you an function to output your board, not your entire game logic. That's down to you. -_-

The reason it's declaring that someone has won every time is because your if statement in check_win() will currently always evaluate to true.

iHutch's code works perfectly well - you copied it erroneously:

for (int i= 0; i < 9; i+=3)

1 will ALWAYS be smaller than 9, so you have an infinite loop printing your grid.
