Thread: Problem with my game

Hi im new in this forum and I got some problems with my tic-tca-toe game.

here is the code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
  int i = 0;    
  int player = 0;          
  int go = 0;                 
  int row = 0;                    
  int column = 0;          
  int line = 0;                                
  int winner = 0;       
  char board[3][3] = {                
                       {'1','2','3'},       
                       {'4','5','6'},       
                       {'7','8','9'}        
                     };


   for( i = 0; i<9 && winner==0; i++)
   {

    printf("\n\n");
      printf(" %c | %c | %c\n", board[0][0], board[0][1], board[0][2]);
      printf("---+---+---\n");
      printf(" %c | %c | %c\n", board[1][0], board[1][1], board[1][2]);
      printf("---+---+---\n");
      printf(" %c | %c | %c\n", board[2][0], board[2][1], board[2][2]);
      
      player = i%2 + 1;     
 
   
      do
      {
         printf("\nPlayer %d, please enter the number of the square "
       "where you want to place your %c: ", player,(player==1)?'X':'O');
         scanf("%d", &go);

         row = --go/3;                               
         column = go%3;                        
      }while(go<0 || go>9 || board[row][column]>'9');

      board[row][column] = (player == 1) ? 'X' : 'O';   

      
      if((board[0][0] == board[1][1] && board[0][0] == board[2][2]) ||
         (board[0][2] == board[1][1] && board[0][2] == board[2][0]))
        winner = player;

      else
        for(line = 0; line <= 2; line ++)
          if((board[line][0] == board[line][1] && board[line][0] == board[line][2])||
             (board[0][line] == board[1][line] && board[0][line] == board[2][line]))
            winner = player;
      

   }

   printf("\n\n");
   printf(" %c | %c | %c\n", board[0][0], board[0][1], board[0][2]);
   printf("---+---+---\n");
   printf(" %c | %c | %c\n", board[1][0], board[1][1], board[1][2]);
   printf("---+---+---\n");
   printf(" %c | %c | %c\n", board[2][0], board[2][1], board[2][2]);


   if(winner == 0)
      printf("\nHow boring, it is a draw\n");
   else
      printf("\nCongratulations, player %d, YOU ARE THE WINNER!\n", winner);

return 0;
}

The problem is that when any of the players wins the game dies. I can't find the problem and my friends couldnt find the problem either. I hope that someone here can find the solution to the problem.

I appreciate all help I can get!

~regards

Just as you said, the program closes the console window. It prints the message and quits, the players wont be able to read the last message that the program prints.

I dont want the program to close itself. It should print the last message telling who is the winner of the game and then ask them if they want to play again or quit the game.
