    Next game?

    Hey,
    I just coded a tic tac toe game, and now I need to think of what game to code next. (Console) Anyone have any ideas?

    Try improving your tic-tac-toe game, I don't know how good it is but make sure you have a scoreboard and a seperate infomation screen. Use a clear screen function before freshing the board.

    After the tic-tac-toe stage I think most people try out the Textbased RPG type games. requires more thinking to get anything out of it though and a lot of code.

    Basically what I mean is if the user presses something like 'h' for help a menu would appear, or even just a small piece of text explaning the controls.

    Ahh...

    Good idea... hmm... but I think I may try something else. My tic tac toe game explains the controls at the begginning...
    And I wanna try something else anyway ;P
