Hi folks....I have two separate copies of this program to show how my thought process worked in initial creation and how it has changed since I was helped by you folks in my airline reservation program. It does not work but I DID try to apply what I have learned from you all to get it to work.
Nothing special about this......all of the examples I have found out there were over complicated and involved things I can't use because I haven't learned it yet. I actually get it to let me put in input but that is it. For example when I choose player 1 it makes me enter row and column and x or o....and then repeats it for player 1 a few times before giving me my menu thing again. This obviously doesn't work out. Well tear apart my program and let me know where I suck and how to fix it and not suck. I actually started this before my airline reservation so the second iteration might have become somewhat mixed up in that I was trying to apply things I had learned from that program.

}The commented out boolean was supposed to see whose turn it is but that never worked out for me lol.
