Thread: Conway's Life - C Program - Errors have me stumped - Please help

your indentation style is very hard to follow...
You have one missing } because of it

Code:

void new_board(char b1[][21], char b2[][21]) 
{
	int i, j, p;
	for (i=0; i<20; i++) 
	{
		for (j=0; j<20; j++) 
		{
			p=neighbours(i,j);
			if(b1[i][j]=='*')
			{
				if(p==2||p==3)
				{
					b2[i][j] = '*';
				} 
				else 
				{
					b2[i][j] = '.';
				}
			} //missing
			else 
			{
				if (neighbours == 3) 
				{
					b2[i][j] = '*';                        /*	b2 corresponding position gets a '*' */
				} 
				else 
				{
					b2[i][j] = '.';			                                     /*b2 gets a '.' */
				}
			}
		}
	}
	/*	b2[i][j] = '\0'; 	 ----assign  ????? \0 */
}
