Thread: My First c++ program : TIC TAC TOE !

Hi all, just completed my first c++ program! After asking some questions on these and other boards, i was able to complete it.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
	

int playerturn;
string boardarray[4][4];
bool boardarray2[4][4];
bool winstatus;



struct drawmenu(){

	cout << "O----------------------O " << endl;
	cout << "|  TIC-TAC-TOE         | " << endl;
	cout << "|    by: Andy Hin      | " << endl;
	cout << "|                      | " << endl;
	cout << "|  [1] Begin Game      | " << endl;
	cout << "|                      | " << endl;
	cout << "|  [2] Quit Game       | " << endl;
	cout << "|                      | " << endl;
	cout << "O----------------------O " << endl;
	

	
}

struct drawboard(){

	
	cout << "      1     2     3   " << endl;
	cout << "				       " << endl;
	cout << "1       "<<boardarray[1][1]<<" | "<<boardarray[1][2]<<"     | "<<boardarray[1][3]<< endl;
	cout << "          |       |    " << endl;
	cout << "      -----------------" << endl;
	cout << "2       "<<boardarray[2][1]<<" | "<<boardarray[2][2]<<"     | "<<boardarray[2][3]<< endl;
	cout << "          |       |    " << endl;
	cout << "      -----------------" << endl;
	cout << "3       "<<boardarray[3][1]<<" | "<<boardarray[3][2]<<"     | "<<boardarray[3][3]<< endl;
	cout << "          |       |    " << endl;

	
}

lol, its definitely not the cleanest code, and i was just programming as i went, adding more code to fix problems - which isn't the best way. Let me know your suggestions, and i will work on to improve in my next project.

Looks good. One thing you can change is so that the user doesnt have to type the row and column to place the next marker in, and I suggest you make the "board" smaller, since x and o are still the same size I think a good size of the board helps.

As I said this is good for someone who is so new to C++, when you get a little more experienced you might want to go back and code an AI for the game.

i havent run it yet..
Qould like to check it out later..

but why do people say they are coding in C++ when they dont use any of its concepts mainly Classes.. (Object oriented programming)..

I totally agree with you vasanth because what is the difference between C and C++ except in Object Oriented Programming!!

Templates.

the OP does use classes, just not any user defined classes. In fact OP used three different classes. cin is an object of the istream class defined in iostream, and cout is an object of the ostream class defined in iostream. neither would be allowed in a C program. Likewise, boardarray is an object of the STL string class, which would never fly in C. Furthermore, the OP used a namespace, which wouldn't be allowed in C. The OP program was definitely in C++. In fact, OP probably should have used cstdlib rather than stdlib.h, which also wouldn't be allowed in C.

Could OP have been written the program in C since no user defined classes were used? Sure. Should they have? That's debateable, and is a debate which no one could ever win.
