Hi Guys,
Trying to create a tictactoe game, and am working on a function for getting one of the two users playing to see what the outcome of the game is. So far I have got it as follows:
Now as you can see I have tried to do is say get the winners for diagonals, columns and rows.Code:TicTacToe:: Status TicTacToe:: gameStatus gameStatus(void) { // Check for win in diagonals // if (board [0][0]!= '_' && board [0][0] == board [1][1] && board [0][0] == board [2][2]) return WIN; else if (board [0][2]!= '_' && board [0][2] == board [1][1] && board [0][2] == board [2][0]) return WIN; //** End Check for win in diagonals ** // // Check for win in rows // if (board [0][0]!= '_' && board [0][0] == board [1][0] && board [0][0] == board [2][0]) return WIN; else if (board [0][1]!= '_' && board [0][1] == board [1][1] && board [0][1] == board [2][2]) return WIN; else if (board [0][2]!= '_' && board [0][2] == board [1][2] && board [0][2] == board [2][2]) return WIN; //** End Check for win in rows **// // Check for win in columns // if (board [0][0]!= '_' && board [0][0] == board [0][1] && board [0][0] == board [0][2]) return WIN; else if (board [1][0]!= '_' && board [1][0] == board [1][1] && board [1][0] == board [1][2]) return WIN; else if (board [2][0]!= '_' && board [2][0] == board [2][1] && board [2][0] == board [2][2]) return WIN; // ** End Check for win in columns ** // // Check for a completed game // return CONTINUE; // game is not finished // ** End Check for completed game ** // // Check for a draw // return DRAW; // game is a draw // ** End Check for draw ** // }
What I need to do now is check for a drawn game, which I think I need to state something like, if move >9 (it’s a 3x3 board) then Return Draw. And also check for a completed game? But I’m stuck on how to do these two!
Can someone please advise if I am going right so far and also how I’d go about checking for a completed game and a draw?
Many Thanks
Rebel
