Simple Tic Tac Game (With Turbo C)

[rizrash]

Hey Friends i am new here !!
Well i have a project in which i am required to make some good program out of the Tubo C book !!
Now i was thinking of a Tic Tac Game or a Mathematical equation calculation program !

I`ve seen some examples here in this forum but all are of heavy codings and strings !!

But i cannot use strings pointers in my programs !!

i need to make a project using functions,arrays and operators and loops !!

can a tic tac game be made using these or not !! and if not then what else can i make !!!

please all you professional programmers help this future programmer !

i need to make this with in a week !!

waiting for all of yours help !!

Thanks You
Rizrash

[rizrash]

Specially whatever i make i should able to grasp it comletely in order to explain to the prgrammer !!

[Ancient Dragon]

you must mean Turbo C++, not Turbo C. But I don't know why you can't code it in c++. If you expect to get that project done in a week then you will have to work a lot of hours each day -- not much time left for play.

[WaltP]

Yes, you can write either program without strings. Very easily.

Specially whatever i make i should able to grasp it comletely in order to explain to the prgrammer !!

As you should with all programs you write...

Please someone help me out with appropriate comments !!

[iamthwee]

If you wrote it yourself you can comment on it yourself. And get rid of that turbo c compiler and get something half decent.

Then maybe others can help.

[WaltP]

well i`ve found one coding lemme show you all !!
but can any one help me out in writing the comments for this progrma !!

OK, the program needs to be formatted better
Posting code without code tags helps make the code unreadable
Writing code without commenting it makes the program hard to understand and follow.

Since it sounds like you just found this on the web somewhere, you should continue looking for code that's commented, and formatted.

And get rid of that turbo c compiler and get something half decent.

That would make moving the cursor and drawing the game board very hard to do :p

can i have favor? please give another example .. beside snake or tic tac toe plz...

How about a little calculator? Go to Wikipedia, and read up on RPN (Reverse Polish Notation), or Tower of Hanoi, or a game of Blackjack, or Battleship or a simple encryption/decryption program, or Conways Game of Life?

Whatever you choose, make it something that personally interests you. The guy who started this thread just found some code that did what he needed, and then didn't even know how to add comments to it -- how sad. You can't learn much like that!
