Thread: Checking connect 5 diagonally help

Hi,
I am making a connect 5 program with a 15x15 array. I have have the check vertical and horizontal parts working but the diagonally is giving me a problem. Here is half the method, is suppose to check up and to the left for the same color chip but everytime it only loops once. Example, chips at 0,0 1,1 2,2 and when a 3,3 chip is dropped it only counts the 3,3 chip and loops once to count the 2,2 chip. Heres the code thanks!

Code:

void checkDiagonal(char a[][15], int prow, int pcol, char playerStone)
{
   int numInline = 1;
   int i, j;

   for(i= prow-1; i >= 0; i--) //Check diagonal up left
      for(j= pcol-1; j >= 0; j--)
      {
         if(numInline < 5)
            if(a[i][j] == playerStone)
            {
               numInline++;
               printf("%s %d %d %d", "Up Left: ", numInline, i, j);
               break;     //To get back to outer for loop
            }
            else
               break;
         else
         {
            if(playerStone == 'O')
            {
               printBoard(a, 15, boardAxis);
               printf("%s", "Player 1  wins diagonally up left!!!!\n");
            }
            else
            {
               printBoard(a, 15, boardAxis);
               printf("%s", "Player 2  wins diagonally up up left!!!!\n");
            }
            exit(0);
         }
      }
}

I want to quit the inner loop so it goes back to the outer loop to decrease the row #. It does the same exact thing without the break statement, I thought it would fix it but I apparently it didn't.
