Thread: Select and move in 2d array.Help!

I am designing a 8x8 2d array checkers game. How can I select a character to print the hyphen '-' on the top and bottom of the character and by moving the hyphen to select the character I want. Let's say the character 'x' is selected, I can move the hyphen '-' to select the 'x' that I want.
But my code is not working, I really need help. I had attached the sample below.

Code:

int gameboard(char board[8][8])
{


 int x, y;
 
  for(x=0; x<8; x++)
  {
   for(y=0; y<8; y++)
    {
    printf("=---=");
    }
    printf("\n\n");
    
    for(y=0;y<8;y++)
    {
    printf("| %c |",board[x][y]);
    }
    printf("\n\n");
  }
  
  
  for(x=0;x<8;x++)
  {
  printf("=---=");
  }
  


}
void character(char board[8][8]){
 int x,y;
 
 for(x=0;x<8;x++){
   for(y=0;y<8;y++){
    if(x<3){
        
       if(x%2 == 0){
              if(x%2 == 0){
              board[x][y] = 'O';
          
              }
              if(y%2==1){
              board[x][y]= ' ';
             
              }
       }
       if(x%2 == 1){
              if(y%2 == 0){
              board[x][y] = ' ';
               }
              if(y%2 ==1){
             board[x][y]= 'O';
              
              }
       }


    }
    
    if((x==3) || (x==4)){
    board[x][y] = ' ';
    } 


    if(x>4)
    {
           
           if(x%2 == 0){
                  if(y%2 == 0){
                  board[x][y] = 'X';
                  
                  }
                  if(y%2 ==1){
                  board[x][y]= ' ';
                  
                  }
           }


           if(x%2 == 1){
                  if(y%2 == 0){
                  board[x][y] = ' ';
                  
                   }
                  if(y%2 ==1){
                  board[x][y]= 'X';
                  
                  }
           }
           
    
    for (x = 0; x < 8; x++) {
        for (y = 0; y < 8; y++) {
            if (x == 5 && y == 1) {
                board[x-1][y] = '-';
                board[x+1][y] = '-';
            }
        }
    }          
           
    }


    }
   }

}

This is what is want.[sample]
