Did you miss the part where you ask a question?

[edit]By the way, your function definations could use some work. Take a look at this:

Code:

---

int PlayingArea::SetSquare(int SquareTaken, string Symbol)

---

Compare that with this:

Code:

---

PlayingArea()

---

You need to put the methods of your class into the scope of the class.

how do i correct those errors.

I made a tic tac toe game the other day... 2 hours of coding.. 1 hour to debug/tweak. I'll post up the code of what I came up with after you've demonstrated that you have a working program. So far, the compiler is giving you good advice on what needs to be fixed.

all your compilation errors come from invalid declarations of constructors and destructors.

So please replace

Code:

---

PlayingArea()
{
return NULL;
}

//==================================================  =========

~PlayingArea()
{
return NULL;
}

//==================================================  =========

Player()
{
return NULL;
}

//==================================================  =========

~Player()
{
return NULL;
}

---

with:

Code:

---

PlayingArea::PlayingArea()
{
}

//=========================

PlayingArea::~PlayingArea()
{
}

//=========================

Player::Player()
{
}

//=========================

Player::~Player()
{
}

---

(remember that constructors and destructors cannot return any value)

Best regards, bilbo

ahh thanks :cool:

ill have to remember both of those 2 things.

when i call this function

Code:

---

int PlayingArea::ClearBoard()
{
        int z=1;

        for (int x=1; x < 4; x++){

                int y=1;
               
                BoardVector[x][y] = z;
                z++;
                y++;
                BoardVector[x][y] = z;
                z++;
                y++;
                BoardVector[x][y] = z;
                z++;
                y++;
        }

        return(0);
}

---

i get a send error report screen, but when i click dont send, the program finished running just fine and waits for you to press enter. Does this have anything to do with this function, or is it something with my computer?

Oh, it's the function. You're overstepping your array bounds. Look at your declaration.

Code:

---

        string BoardVector[3][3]; //this is the tic tac toe board

---

That declares a two-dimensional array, with each dimension having a range of 0 - 2. Now take a look at your function:

Code:

---

for (int x=1; x < 4; x++) //start x at 1, loop until x > 4
//that's bad, since x = 3 is invalid
{
        int y=1; //start y at 1
               
        BoardVector[x][y] = z;
        z++;
        y++; //y is now 2
        BoardVector[x][y] = z;
        z++;
        y++; //y is now 3
        BoardVector[x][y] = z; //accessing [x][3]...outside of array
}

---

You should start accessing your array at 0 instead of 1 and watch your array bounds.

Here is my version of tic tac toe :)

        bool check_winner();
        void reset();

        char grid[5][6];
        char square;
        int  turn;

        }while(again()!='N');
