Almost done with the Tic Tac Toe, but I need 1 more easy thing. PLEASE HELP!!!

Ok here is my entire Program below. BUT I cant figure out how to get the damn thing to quit! Its having trouble finding the variable to end it. I can get it to end and find a winner but it wont quit properly. Ive spent about 16 hours at least in the past 2 days with my cousins help.

I plead with everyone here to please look at this program, load it up if needed and help me figure out this seemingly small problem. It defenately needs some C Programming exprets here :)

Thank you very much and my entire program is below so anyone and everyone can critique it and help. Thanks to anyone who helps. Its greatly appreciated.

too much code... help not possible..... programmers=lazy
post less code....help will be possible.....programmers still=lazy, but willing to help more

>> I can get it to end and find a winner but it wont quit properly.

You say that you can get it 2 end, but it won't quit properly. What do you mean by "QUIT PROPERLY" ???

void Ask_for_new_game(char ttt[3][3], int answer)

This is foreign to me, and therefore suspicious:

void main (int answer)

I would place answer in the function body of main and pass it by reference to the various functions or, less recommended, make it a global variable by declaring it before void main(). To my knowledge main() can be void, or have two arguments, argc and argv, but not one argument as you have posted. Having said that I try to learn something new every day, and I am happy to have this be the lesson for the day if need be.

Yea, I didnt make myself clear enough on the problem. It does everything OK, in my program and it says "goodbye" and everything , but right after it says bye, it goes back to the last move that was last played on the Tic Tac Toe game, and it includes the winning move. Than it prompts the next player to put in their next move. And the game continues. It wond end. I dont know why the hell its doing that.

Thanks for the idea Stoned_Coder. But it didnt work :( It gave me an error saying: Type Mismatch of Redeclaration of 'Ask_for_new_game' and it has the first { ("sqiuggly" the one right under: int Ask_for_new_game(char ttt[3][3], int answer) at the end) highlighted.


Anyone know whats wrong? Ive tried all I can think of but nothing works. This damn assignment is due tomorrow too so I hope someone can help with this little roadblock.

Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate everything.

Not to brag or anything, but men are men, and men want pride. I am a newbie and I just finished MY tic tac toe game. There is just one small bug that doesn't make it look as nice, but it works perfect other than that! You can play against another human, or against the computer. Then it asks if you want to play again. And YES, there is AI. Actually, if you play the computer you choose novice, moderate, or insane. And YES, there are differences. On novice, the computer chooses random spot. On moderate, it only blocks. On insane, it blocks, and if it can it will take its winning spot! Here is the source code, its an attachment.

YOU MAY LOOK AT HOW I DESINGED MINE FOR TIPS ON YOURS!;)

get out of the way leeman, u dont know anything
::Shoves::
my tic tac toe game is better. Look in the game programming board. Look under LEEMANS post. :rolleyes:Mine is better. Very Much so.

Hey, i don't know if anyone said yet, but did you use the exit(0); function at where the program ends?

you could use a bool and infinite loop

I can't post a new thread for some reason(page wont load). So I hope this message makes it somewhere someone can read it.

I am trying to multiply two 3x3 arrays. All that I know how to do is add array's, so I am a little lost. Any help would be great. Also if anyone wants, if they can, please copy & post this message as a new thread, that would be great.

the reason you get a type mismatch is because there was no reason for that function to return a value to its caller so i made it void and you obviously didn't change the prototype. There are several mistakes in your code and maybe i would have spent 10 minutes sorting it out for you had you used code tags to make it look readable.

Leeman_s: I downloaded your code and found a couple of errors. It would not compile so I changed the code to work correctly. Before you brag you might want to make sure the code works:

Before you try to prove someone wrong, use your head. I'm using MSVC++ 6.0, i don't know what you are using. All I know is that it works when I compile it. Perhaps you need some good tutorials on copying and pasting? Also there is this good place I know that has tutorials on how to 'think before you post'.

that was supposed to be a joke

Maybe you should try using a program like notepad to learn to read C++ before you put it in an IDE that does the work for you. You just posted your code blindly and it doesn't work as is... sorry for your confusion.

it's cool... we are all in this together, just trying to be helpful and add a little sarcastic humor to the messages

I get this error when compiling : -

what the f*&k is that?!

Whooooooo Hoooooooo!!

I just wanted to say you guys rule!!! All of youThanks 1000xs! It was all perfect and I put exactly what you said Stoned_Coder (Id like to especially thank you man), but it still didnt work. And thats cause I forgot to define the stupid thing! LOL. But I did and it all worked perfectly.

I want to thank all you guys who helped out and tried to help me in this trying time. Thanks alot. Its GREATLY appreciated :D

You people have inspired me! I spent the last 2 days making a Tic Tac Toe game of my own, and I've finally finished! Exept for ironing the errors and bugs out..
One problem, which of these two if statements would be better used.

if ((board[0][0] == board[0][1] && board[0][1] == board[0][2]) && board[0][2] != '*')

-or-

if ((board[0][0] == board[0][1] && board[0][1] == board[0][2]) != '*')

The second one gives me a warning in MSVC++ 6.0, and the first doesn't. But the first seems like I would work, with less code.

Well heres my code, I've spent about an hour trying to iron out the errors, I got most of 'em but these two still elude me. I don't know if this will even work yet, as I haven't gotten it to compile yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Howdy all,
I cut pasted and ran the block posted by "runtojesus"
Besides the linker error i expected "unresolved external ...endl (i won't go into on this post i have already asked about this) i got a linker error "unresolved external ...flush...
Is flush a VC specific operator or is this another Borland problem. What is an alternative to flush.

After deleting the flush operators & changing endl to "\n" the game seemed to run just fine with the exception of an oddly placed random X or O on the board.

I am a shamless C++ newbie so i will take any working code i can get for disection and learning purposes. keep them coming.
