    Unhappy help with tic tac toe program

    Hi i'm trying to do a program that allows two users or one to play a game of tic tac toe....my program goes well until someone wins and the program keeps asking for the next X or O to be entered...could someone help me?


    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
      char game[3][3]={{'*','*','*'},{'*','*','*'},{'*','*','*'}};  
      char choice;
      
      int row, column, count=0, winner=0;
      
      cout<<"Lets play a game of TicTacToe! Here's the starting game board: "<<endl;
      
      for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
      {
         for(int j=0; j<3; j++)
    	 {
    		 cout << game[i][j]<<"  ";
    	 }
    	 cout<<endl;
      }
     
      do
      {
    	cout<<"Are you X or O? Please enter a captial X or O:  ";
        cin>>choice;
    
    	cout<<"Enter the row and column to place your "<<choice<<".  ";
    	cin>>row>>column;
    	
    	game[row][column]=choice;
    
    	count+=1;
    
    	for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
    	{
    		for(int j=0; j<3; j++)
    		{
    			cout << game[i][j]<<"  ";
    		}
    		
    		cout<<endl;
    	}
    
    	if(game[0][0]=='X' && game[0][1]=='X' && game[0][2]=='X')
    	{
    		winner=1;
    
    		cout<<game[0][0]<<" wins!!"<<endl;

    A lot of else-if here! I have not scrutinized your code to closely but you may need this:

    Code:
    while( winner== 0 || count > 8 );   /*You may not be satisfying both conditionals here? If this is met you have a DRAW!  */
