attempt 2

heres my delimma: i made a program to print a map somewhat like this: [][] (exept 10X10) each square would changes
[][] depending on what number each "square" eaquals so if b[0][0]==0; then the square would be []. hence i used nested loops to make all b[x][y]=0; and so on. its supposed to be kind of like chess,a dn i have the "enemy program" down, but why isnt this code working?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int b[9][9];
int x, y, ex, ey, ax, ay, turncount;


do{
for(ay=0;ay<9;ay++){
for(ax=0;ax<9;ax++){
b[ax][ay]=0;
}
}
if(turncount>0){
b[x][y]=1;
}
b[2][2]=2;
for(y=0;y<9;y++){
for(x=0;x<9;x++){
if(b[x][y]==0){
cout<<"[]";
}
if(b[x][y]==1){
cout<<"*•";
}
if(b[x][y]==2){
cout<<"ôæ";
}
}
cout<<"\n";
}
for(;x>9 || y>9;){
cin>>x>>y;
turncount++;
}
cin.get();
}
while(0<1);
cin.get();
}

I'll look at it, but btw that code is hard to read, you need to learn how to use spaces buddy and the tab button.

Yes this code is hard to read.
First thing that really sticks out here is that the do-while loop uses (0<1) as a condition which is always true. Since you don't have any break exit or return statements inside this loop it will run forever.

you might as well replace this

Code:

---

for(;x>9 || y>9;)

---

with a while statement

Code:

---

while (x>9 || y>9)
