Tic-Tac-Toe Basic Console Game Log
I've recently started taking classes at North Western on C++/C programming and this is round 1 with Tic-Tac-Toe basic Console game.
I've made this is Microsoft Visual Studio Academic Edition. I've been taking classes regularly and am learning a large amount on this coding language. I wrote this up in less than 2 hours.
This is my very first attempt on Console Based Games and I'll be updating this constantly as it's not working as it should.
All it's currently doing is recreating the 6x6 grid [though it only seems to be a 3x3 grid] and every time shows the place where you moved, the the computer finds the next open spot in the grid and fills that.
You however, can pick any spot in the 3x3 grid. The computer has no mental capability of it's own to date, and should be updated in the next few days based on my schedule.
Enjoy
Please, rate the current code /10 and give feedback. IF you don't have any comment on my coding it will be considered spam and reported.
