What steps have you taken in starting to solve the problem? Have you decided on how you will represent the board? Are you going to use classes? These are the things you need to think about and start sketching out on paper even before you begin. Write as much of the code as you can, and post back with specific issues.

So far I have the board set up, its in an array. The areas that will remain blank I have issued to be null,. And the other spots have been assigned fox,sheep, or the numbers. The issues I'm having are coming up with functions to print the board out and to have a human played be active with the "computer."

I have gotten a little further in the project since I last posted, I have the fox on a board that is able to move around now. I am now having issues getting the sheep added into the mix and getting the board in the shape that I need it. I am going to post my code and if anyone has any suggestions please let me know! Thank you!

The game board is the tricky part because it's not square. It's probably most convenient to make it a square and then do bounds checking to make sure the move you are going to make is still on the board. You should probably do this in the move function with a series of if statements. You can also adjust your board within the move function.
Your displayboard function doesn't make much sense. Just output it using a loop like you were trying to do in the main function. Adjust the bounds on your for loops to print out only the valid portions.
Keep going with it, and test it incrementally to make sure all of the parts are working before moving on.

So I worked on this today and this is what I have so far:
I have the foxes and the sheep on the board but the foxes are only able to move. The row column format is in (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Meaning that when you are prompted to move the first fox you will choose a starting point and the ending point on where you want it to be. You will then be prompted for the second fox and the same will be asked of you. I used an array to print out the board and made a simple square board; once this was done I just adjusted the boundaries to shape the board. The board will terminate after the loop is done which will be printed twice. I used classes to create my foxes and my sheep with a set of functions. The foxes move based off a move function. To get the foxes in the starting positions that they need to be, set your foxes to move and end up at (7,3) and (7,5). Meaning for instance when you are prompted enter for example 7 7 7 3 and 7 7 7 5 to get them where they need to be.

Hey that looks similar, if not exact same program project I have. I'm just a bit curious: do you have Mrs. Kaneko? Because you're not supposed to be getting the fox move from standard input. The fox move is to implemented by the program, just to let ya know. ;)
Also the board is supposed to be added by the player in standard input as well.

Yes I do have kaneko, and I know that the board and foxes are supposed to be inputed HOWEVER I am working with what I have so I am sure she will understand that lol. If you have any suggestions on how to add to this please let me know lol.
