To get you on your way, I'd suggest that you make an array that remembers how many chips are in each row. See if you can print the board for different values

[Matticus]

You:

- Print heading
- Print blank game board
- Receive users' names

So now what? Have you planned ahead? Planning is very important in programming.

Perhaps you should consider putting all "game board" "graphics" [characters] in an array instead of hard-printing it like that. Then when something changes, you just modify the array accordingly and print it out again. (This would be a good place for a function, if you've covered that.)

int player1, player2; 
...
printf ("Enter Name of Player 1:");
scanf ("%d", &player1);
printf ("Enter Name of Player 2:");
scanf ("%d", &player2);

Names are usually strings not integers. I think "player1" and "player2" should be character arrays.
