Hey all.
I've been recently trying to write down a program that lets 2 players play tic-tac-toe (aka X/O) but I wanna code it using Bloodshed C++. Thing is, I wanna do it something like this.
---- > Display the gameboard like this.
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
---- > I ask the first player to enter the number which he wishes to replace with "X".
---- > In the program, I replace the number on the scoreboard with an "X"
---- > Display updated board, ask player 2 for where he wants to place a "O"
---- > Repeat the same thing of replacement, and update.
Thing is, I tried to like code the first round of the program. My code was fine (no syntax error, no logic error). But, I have logic errors in my program whereby the desired output isnt returned to players 1 and 2.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
string a = "1";
string b = "2";
string c = "3";
string d = "4";
string e = "5";
string f = "6";
string g = "7";
string h = "8";
string i = "9";
int a1=1;
int a2=2;
int a3=3;
int a4=4;
int a5=5;
int a6=6;
int a7=7;
int a8=8;
int a9=9;
int input1;
int input2;
string x ="X";
string o = "O";
cout << "Welcome to tic-tac-toe!"<< endl;
cout << "This is a two player game" << endl;
cout << endl;
cout << "Player 1 will have X and player 2 will have O"<< endl;
cout << "The game board by default is as follows"<< endl;
cout << endl;
cout << a << " " << b << " " << c << endl;
cout << d << " " << e << " " << f << endl;
cout << g << " " << h << " " << i << endl;
cout << "Player one, enter the number which you want to replace with X" << endl;
cin >> input1;
if (input1 = a1)
a = x;
else if (input1 =a2)
b = x;
else if (input1 =a3)
c = x;
else if (input1 =a4)
d = x;
else if (input1 =a5)
e = x;
else if (input1 =a6)
f = x;
else if (input1 =a7)
g = x;
else if (input1 =a8)
h = x;
else if (input1 =a9)
i = x;
cout << "The board has been updated" << endl;
cout << a << " " << b << " " << c << endl;
cout << d << " " << e << " " << f << endl;
cout << g << " " << h << " " << i << endl;
cout << "Player two, enter the number which you want to replace with O" << endl;
cin >> input2;
if (input2 = a1)
a = o;
else if (input2 =a2)
b = o;
else if (input2 =a3)
c = o;
else if (input2 =a4)
d = o;
else if (input2 =a5)
e = o;
else if (input2 =a6)
f = o;
else if (input2 =a7)
g = o;
else if (input2 =a8)
h = o;
else if (input2 =a9)
i = o;
cout << "The board has been updated" << endl;
cout << a << " " << b << " " << c << endl;
cout << d << " " << e << " " << f << endl;
cout << g << " " << h << " " << i << endl;
system ("pause");
return 0;
}Where's the mistake?!
I can tell the things going wrong in terms of logic errors if you all want me to....
Thanks in advance for reading.
