[danblognivalodi]

Hello guys, i'm making a battleship game on devc++ i got all working so far as i wanted, but now i need to make the game better and apply a goodlooking board to my game, just like this one:

my actual code for building player's board is the following:

char player [width][heigth];

for(int i=0; i < heigth; i++)
{
for( int j=0; j < width; j++)
{
player[i][j]='-';
}

}
for example let width and heigth be 8

can you guys help me to improve my board, please :D

btw i'm not using voids, so it is building on the main.
