Thread: Game of Nim (PROJECT HELP!)

You need to still track how many sticks are left with the variable sum, so:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
    int rows[] = { 2, 4, 6};
    int i, j,sum;
    
    sum=rows[0]+rows[1]+rows[2];
    while(sum>0) {
       printf("\n\n\tWELCOME TO GAME OF NIM\t\n\n");

       for(i = 0; i < 3,; i++)
       {
          printf("\nRow %d:", i+1);

          for(j = 0; j < rows[i] ; j++)
          {
                printf("\t|");
          }

          printf("\t|");
       }
       
       //ask the user what row they want to pick sticks from
       scanf() to get that number. (an int rowChosen)

       //ask the user how many sticks they want to remove
       scanf() to get that number. (an int sticksChosen)

       rows[rowChosen+1] -= sticksChosen;
       sum -= sticksChosen;
   }
    return 0;
}

And so on. Add in your player code, etc.

       rows[rowChosen+1] -= sticksChosen;
       sum -= sticksChosen;
   }
    return 0;
}

Okie dude let me try it.

       rows[rowChosen+1] -= sticksChosen;
       sum -= sticksChosen;
   }
    return 0;
}

And so on. Add in your player code, etc.

Code:

printf("Please Enter a Row: ");
    scanf("%d", rowChosen);
    printf("Please Enter how many stick you will get: ");
    scanf("$d", sticksChosen);

    rows[rowChosen+1] -= sticksChosen;
    sum -= sticksChosen

Is this right? or cause it has error expected ';'

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
    int rows[] = { 2, 4, 6}; //Printing Game board
    int i, j; // Variable in Printing Gameboard
    int player =1; //The players
    int rowChosen, sticksChosen; //Scan purpose
    int sum;



    printf("\n\n\tWELCOME TO GAME OF NIM\t\n\n");



    for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
          printf("\nRow %d:", i+1);

            for(j = 0; j < rows[i] ; j++)
            {
                printf("\t|");
            }

          printf("\t|");
        }

          printf("\n");

    printf("Please Enter a Row: ");
    scanf("%d", rowChosen);
    printf("Please Enter how many stick you will get: ");
    scanf("$d", sticksChosen);

        rows[rowChosen+1] -= sticksChosen;
        sum -= sticksChosen;

    return 0;
}

It runs now but when i enter a row number the program will be shut down..
