Thread: Where to start

I'm in the middle of making a TTT Game too. Maybe we could help each other out?

here's my first game i had fun making it for school, its in c but the only differences i noticed (at our level) is that
printf is coot
scanf is cin
or something like that, rest are almost identical.

(made it in dev c++ v4)

enjoy!

Granted I'll admitt that I typically code 'too much', but in this case I have a few good reasons.

1) I space my code out a lot so that creates a lot of extra lines, yet, not extra code.

2) I have AI in my game, as well as 2 player, which adds a lot of code.

3) There is no definate on when you'll go as the player, either 1st or 2nd. This adds a little bit more of code.

4) I have a score table, which adds more code.

5) You can play the game more than once without having to quit.

6) Another reason that isn't that obvious, is that I used row/col to decide where each piece should go. Whereas, most people use a single number for where each piece should go. My method creates a lot more code than the other method.

Even with all of these reasons I'm sure I could significantly detract some of my code without changing the program the least bit, but it doesn't matter to me anymore.



The method of just having a single number to input is much better than doing the row/col thing like I did, IMO. Also, Vicious, I recommed doing AI with your game because you'll learn a lot from doing it, and it makes your whole experience (and game) that much better. It's pretty cool seeing your first AI respond to a human too.
