Tic-Tac-Toe help

[green2black]

Ive been trying to clean this program up but can't figure out these past two things. When I try to compile it I get a message saying in function gameloop, board is undeclared. I also get a warning saying from function computersMove saying passing arg 1 of `findWin' , `getCorner', and 'getSide' makes pointer from integer without a cast. Any help would be GREAT

Thanks

Well, board is declared in main, but you're trying to use it in

void gameLoop(void)

which doesn't know anything about main()'s local variables.

It would probably be a good idea to pass in board to this function, something like this:

/* in main() */
gameLoop(board);

void gameLoop(char board[][3])
{
/* ... */

The same thing goes for computersMove() and any other functions that need board.

I see now that you're passing board into most of your functions, but you're calling it gameBoard. Just use the same name.

Or you could make board global, but I strongly recommend against that.

Oh, and consider using for loops to implement findWin().

Well.

This is because you declare board in main, so it does not exist globally. You make this mistake (assuming that board is global) quite a few times, so I'm surprised you got this far without realizing there's a problem.

thanks, I got the board declaration thing fixed but still have problems with the pointer from integer without a cast thing. Any help would be.......well helpful

Posting the line(s) where this error is reported at would help quite a bit.

Most of the time it's because there is no prototype for the function, so the compiler assumes that the return value is an integer, and you are using it to assign into a pointer. E.g.

char *p;
...
  p = somefunc();
...

char *somefunc();

The same thing can happen if you forget a header-file.

That means you are still not passing the gameboard around, but some other variable.

You could even rework your program based on the corrections you've made so far and post it (and remember to post the actual error too).
