switching between players

what is the easy way to switching between players in a tic tac toe game

I like that its simple and to the point. So i will do something like this:

INT or STRING or CHAR play;

play=X

if ( play == 'X' )
play = 'O';

else play = 'X';



Something like that... I know its not clean or writing right.

You could always just use a number to represent the player:

Code:

---

/* player enumerations for whatever */
enum { Player1, Player2 };

/* pick a random player to start */
int player = rand( ) & Player1;

... do stuff ...

/* switch players */
player = !player;

---

Something like that would suffice. :D

Tsk Tsk - what's the value of the first enum in an enumeration?

Doh. Yeah. I spaced that one. I had it as a % Player2 first, then realized that Player2 was 1, so I changed it to & ... but then I changed the 2 to a 1.:rolleyes:

I usually do my enumerations with a final one depicting the "total" enumerations for things like list counts and random numbers and the like:

Code:

---

enum { foo, foo1, foo2, totalfoo };
list[ totalfoo ];

My brain threw an exception since I didn't put one in my enum list in the example code. :P
