I am trying to develope this tic tac toe game etc. and to check if there are three '1's or three '2's in a row I wrote the fuction check
I am trying many combinations of ways to check this but none really work, how would you design check?
1 = player1 or X
2 = player2 or O
The possibilities I have tried are layed out in commented lines
The code is really spread and confusing because it is late and I don't want to write more possibilites and post all the other ways I have tried.
Code:#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
