can anyone please help me in to creating a client-server using this game?

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

#include <map>

#include <time.h>

#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;



//displays the instruction of the game

void displayInst(){

    for ( int b = 0; b < 28; b++ )

    cout << "* ";



    cout << "\n* Game Title: NUM-BERS                                 *";

    cout << "\n*                                                      *";

    cout << "\n* Players : 2                                          *";

    cout << "\n*                                                      *";

    cout << "\n*              based on \"tic-tac-toe\" but with a       *";

    cout << "\n*              twist. Instead of Using X's and O's     *";

    cout << "\n*              the player is going to use numbers,     *";

    cout << "\n*              ODD for PLAYER 1 and EVEN for PLAYER 2. *";

    cout << "\n*              The goal is to make a \"in a row\";       *";

    cout << "\n*              (diagonally, vertically,horizontally)   *";

}//end displayInst

   char choice;     

   

   do{

        

        map<char,char> box;

        box['a'] = 'a';

        box['b'] = 'b';

        box['c'] = 'c';

        box['g'] = 'g';

        box['i'] = 'i';



        char letter,value;   

        int goalTotal;

        bool win = false;

       	int a[8];

       	int player1[5] = {1,3,5,7,9};

       	int player2[5] = {2,4,6,8,10};

        

        //generates a random number …

Sorry, that was my mistake - I failed to close the two open brackets. It should go as follows:

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
                      if (a[i] == goalTotal) {
                          cout << endl << "Player Wins" << endl;
                          win = true;
                          break;
                      }
                  }

master Schoil-R-LEA,
how can i make it into 2 players..
i mean, how can i display on who's turn is it to play?

if it's not much of a burden.. can you help me? :)

thank you so much.. gonna try it now.. :))

Since you are already testing for wins, we can use that to simplify the loop exit. First we'll add a Boolean variable named win and initialize it to false:

bool win = false;

Then we'll simplify the test for winning:

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
                      if (a[i] == goalTotal) {
                          cout << endl << "Player Wins" << endl;
                          win = true;

Finally, we change the conditional of the do/while() loop:

while(!win);

Try that and see if it works.

is this correct?

i'm just having a hard time in my algorithm.. i'm getting confused. @.@

here's my code so far.

#include <iostream>
#include <map>
using namespace std;

int main(){

map<char,char> box;

box['a'] = 'a';
box['b'] = 'b';
box['c'] = 'c';
box['d'] = 'd';
box['e'] = 'e';
box['f'] = 'f';
box['g'] = 'g';
box['h'] = 'h';
box['i'] = 'i';

char letter,value;

cout << endl << box['a']<<" | "<<box['b']<<" | "<<box['c'];
cout << "\n---------\n";
cout << box['d']<<" | "<<box['e']<<" | "<<box['f'];
cout << "\n---------\n";
cout << box['g']<<" | "<<box['h']<<" | "<<box['i'];

cout<<endl<<"\nEnter a letter: ";
cin>>letter;
cout<<endl<<"Enter a value: ";
cin>>value;
box[letter] = value;
cout << endl << box['a']<<" | "<<box['b']<<" | "<<box['c'];
cout << "\n---------\n";
cout << box['d']<<" | "<<box['e']<<" | "<<box['f'];
cout << "\n---------\n";
cout << box['g']<<" | "<<box['h']<<" | "<<box['i']<< endl;



system ("pause");
}

Yes we can. Problem is we're not all psychic so
1) we can't help you fix the code we can not see, nor
2) we can't answer questions that were not asked.

uhm.. can you please give me an idea on how the main code will be coded?

can anybody help me making this program?
i've based my game from this site. http://www.education.com/activity/article/Tick_tack_toe_Added/

hope that someone can help me..

i've been stuck coding that for almost 6hrs but still no progress.

thank you!

i want something other than tic tac toe. :)

guys, can you please suggest a 2 player game? any 2 player game as long as the difficulty of coding is at an intermediate level. thanks! :D
hope for some replies soon.
