I'm working on a project for a tic tac toe game. I'm working on this with a partner (assigned) but he has kind of fallen by the wayside.
Here is the assignment:

Filenames:
ttt.h, ttt.cpp, tttmain.cpp
Your second project will be completed with a partner. For this project, you will
complete a two-player game of Tic-Tac-Toe using classes and structures.
You may design your program however you want, but you must include the following
minimum requirements:
Create a structure called Player with at least the following members:
o name
o symbol (X or 0)
o currentScore

Create a class called TicTacToe with at least the following members and
functions:
private data members:
-two Players
-int currentWinner (Eg. 0=tie, 1 = player1, 2 = player2)
-char board[3][3] to represent the playing board
Note: You may decide the return types and parameters of the following
functions and add any other functions that you need to complete your
program
public member functions:
constructor to initialize data
Reset() should reset the board and currentWinner
DisplayBoard() should display the board
Eg.

1|2|3
4|5|6

7|8|9

ChoosePosition() should prompt the user for their spot on the
board and update the board accordingly
Note: Include validation for spots already chosen in this
function.
CheckforWinner() should check for a winner and return the current
winner
DisplayScore() should display the current number of wins and ties
for each player.
This function should be called at the end of
each game.
Eg:
Player 1 Wins
Player 2 Wins

Tie Games

2
3
2
Use the following menu to drive your program in main():
1)
Start a new match (two new players)
2)
Continue the current match (the same two players)
3)
Exit
Create a UML diagram to represent your TicTacToe class.

        ttt1.ChoosePosition();

        findWin = ttt1.CheckForWinner();

        if(findWin == 1 || findWin == 2 || findWin == 3)
            {
            break;
            }
        }

        ttt1.DisplayBoard();

        ttt1.DisplayScore(findWin);

    }while( menuSelect != 3);

return 0;
}





int MainMenu()
{
    int select = 0;

    cout<<"Main Menu\n";
    cout<<"\n";
    cout<<" 1) Start a new match (two new players).\n";
    cout<<" 2) Continue the current match (the same two players).\n";
    cout<<" 3) Exit.\n\n";

    cout<<"Enter your choice:";
    cin>>select;
    cout<<endl;

    while(cin.fail() || select <1 || select >3)
    {
        cin.clear();
        cin.ignore();
        cout<<"Please enter a valid choice : ";
        cin>>select;
    }

    return select;
}

The number of errors on the implementation file are numerous. I need some direction in getting started on fixing it.
Thanks Daniweb community

Not exactly what I was looking for, but I appreciate it and I will try that one also. I'm looking for simplistic display in the terminal. I'm not setting window sizes and attaching real graphics yet.

Hi,

i con't understand your code. if you tell me about the code detail i will be help.

One cause for errors I see is:

void Reset (bool resetWin, char board, char plays)

This is declared ouside the class and instead of passing character arrays you're passing characters and trying to access them like arrays.

Once you declare the function inside the class you don't need to pass board and play as you'll now be inside their scope and can access them directly:

void TicTacToe::Reset (bool resetWin)

Remember to change the declaration in the header file.
