alright, I have most of this hammered out, but still a couple problems I cant figure out. in the player class, the Nextmove function is not working for me. It uses the setvalue function in TicTacToe class(which works fine by itsself)

also there are problems assigning player names that I cant figure out either, one name will turn out fine, and the other will end up being a concatinization of its name and the other name minus a char or 2. I have it setup so they can input row 1-3 instead of 0-2(array) and it subtracts 1 from what they input to put inthe the char array. Heres the code:

2 drivers(test.c and game.cpp) just been using test.c for small tests and game will be the main driver.

test.c

#include <iostream>
#include "Player.h"

int main()
{
        Player p1("Ralph", 1);
        Player p2("Joe", 2);
        TicTacToe tic;
        p1.NextMove(tic);
        tic.setValue(1, 1, 1);
        tic.setValue(3, 3, 2);
        tic.print();
        //cout << "\n" << p1.GetName() << "\n";
        return 0;
}

name variable in Player class is an uninitialized pointer and the constructor does not allocate any space for it. Why don't you using std::string class instead of char* -- it will make your life a whole lot easier, your hair will not turn grey as quickly, and will greatly simplify the Player class constructor.

ok that got it. And the issue with the tictactoe board where Nextmove wasnt working was just a pointer issue so I got it too. Thanks for the help!

which source is correct?????
