    C post in C++ thread.

    Also mind that you did not explain why you are not happy with your code.
    Code - functions and small libraries I use


    It’s 2014 and I still use printf() for debugging.

    You've literally made no progress on this code since the last time you posted it.
    Also, please make sure your code is indented properly.

    You have been given advice on this in post #4 of your previous post (see link above).

    I don't get it, is it supposed to be four in a row? If so you need to store the board in some data structure.

    From the look of what you have so far one could easily conclude that you have no experience with functions, arrays, if statements, or just about any of the other stuff that is needed in anything beyond a hello world program. Everything you have so far could be learnt in about your first hour of learning to program.

    Please post something that demonstrates you have somewhere near the knowledge required to make this program. If not, then I'm afraid that this is a bit much to ask, and you really need to start off with something simpler and learn the concepts first.
