Nid help...how to cre8 tic tac toe programe using C++

[flamecly]

Create a class TicTacToe that enables you to write a program to play the game of tic –tac-toe.

The class contains as private data a 3-by-3 double array of integers. The constructor should initialise the empty board to all zeros.

Allow two players. Wherever the first player moves, place a ‘1’ or ‘X” in the specified square; place a ‘2’ or ‘O’ wherever the second player moves. Each move must be an empty square.

After each move determine if the game is won or if it is a draw. The program should indicate to the player to make the next move and announce win and draw to the player.

Exercise creativity and object oriented approach in your program design and you may add other data or member functions. Also, you should make your program as friendly as possible to the users.

thanks for the help:cheesy:

now that you have posted the problem, what exactly do you expect of us? We will NOT write your program for you but we will help you to write it yourself. So post your code and ask questions.

this is the code but i need help in editing this tic tac toe game into a human vs. human game instead of a human vs. computer. can u teach me how to edit?

Use code tags... (see my signature)

Also, this code doesn't seem like a TicTacToe class to me. ;) From what I can tell, you didn't actually write this code. It looks like you copied it off some website, because writing a Tic Tac Toe game with the computer playing one player is far harder than Human vs Human.

So not only are you going to have to make this into a human vs human game, you're going to need to rewrite it or else it won't meet the project requirements.

Consider planning what needs to happen first: making a 3x3 board, letting one player place a mark, letting the other player place a mark, checking for a winner, etc.. You may want to create a flow chart to help visualize. Once you have these steps down, convert it to pseduocode so you can see your task easier. Finally, plan a class that incorporates all of this and gradually convert your pseudocode to C++.

Hope this helps
