creating array

[brown]

Hi

Im very new to C and Im attempting to make an array that looks like this except much bigger:

[][][][]
[][][][]

and in this array I would like put x's into some of the boxes based on user to make a picture, but im confused as to how to get started on this.

Any help would be appreciated!

Make a function to draw the array. When you are drawing it, leave a space for the X, for when it's not present, otherwise it will look like crap.

Make a function to put an x at a specific spot. Get that input from the user, put it there, redraw the screen.

Basically, you're just looking for an array of whatever size you choose, filled with spaces, that you swap out for Xs as needed.

Start small. Make a 3x3 one, and once you have it working, go bigger. If you don't know how to use arrays, I'd suggest going to the library and getting a book on C, or searching the internet for some tutorials on the basics of C.
