converting int stored in array to char?
Doing another exercise on array, making another tic tac toe game, but now with varied board size. So I can't use board with char type.
Unless there's another way to show that the square is marked with O and X, I want to know how to convert int values stored in array into a char.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void show_board(int board[][6],int board_size);
int game_start(int board[][6], string player[]);
int select_board(int board[][6]);
void player_names(string player[])
{ string player1,player2;
std::cout << "Player 1's name: ";
std::getline(cin, player1);
std::cout<<endl;
std::cout << "Player 2's name: ";
std::getline(cin, player2);
std::cout <<endl;
player[0]= player1;
player[1]= player2;
}
int game_start(int board[][6], string player[],int board_size)
{
bool gameover = false;
int turn =0; //0-'X', 1-'O'
int mark;
do{
show_board(board,board_size);
std::cout << player[0]<< "'s turn.\n";
std::cin>>mark;
for (int row=0;row<board_size;row++)
{
for(int column=0;column<board_size;column++)
{
if(board[row][column] == mark && turn == 0 ){
}
else if(board[row][column] == mark && turn == 1){
}
}
}
}
while(!gameover);
}
void show_board(int board[][6],int board_size)
{
for (int row=0;row<board_size;row++)
{
for(int column=0;column<board_size;column++)
{
if(board_size == 5){
if(board[row][column] > 24){
board[row][column] = board[row][column] - 4;}
else if (board[row][column] > 18){
board[row][column] = board[row][column] - 3;}
else if (board[row][column] > 12){
board[row][column] = board[row][column] - 2;}
else if (board[row][column] > 6){
board[row][column] = board[row][column] - 1;}
}
else if(board_size == 4){
if(board[row][column] > 18){
board[row][column] = board[row][column] - 6;}
else if (board[row][column] > 12){
board[row][column] = board[row][column] - 4;}
else if (board[row][column] > 6){
board[row][column] = board[row][column] - 2;}
}
if (board[row][column] < 10){
std::cout << " ";}
std::cout << board[row][column] << " ";
}
std::cout << endl;
}
}
int select_board(int board[][6])
{
std::cout << "Select the size of board: \n";
std::cout << " 4x4 - press 4.\n";
std::cout << " 5x5 - press 5.\n";
std::cout << " 6x6 - press 6.\n";
int board_size;
std::cin >> board_size;
return board_size;
}
int main()
{
int board[6][6] = { {1,2,3,4,5,6},
{7,8,9,10,11,12} ,
{13,14,15,16,17,18},
{19,20,21,22,23,24},
{25,26,27,28,29,30},
{31,32,33,34,35,36}};
string player[2];
player_names(player);
int board_size = select_board(board);
game_start(board,player,board_size);
}
