C/C++ Tic-Tac-Toe Console Game Log

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

I don't know how to code C++ or C, but that looks like that would take a heck of time to make that. I script LUA, LUA is based on C.

 

I can't wait until I can take a C++ class in college. The 18 week highschool class that took me 4 weeks just don't cut it.

 

I'm in a year long C++ class and some of that I don't know. GL with it.

 

i tried saving it as a .bat file.. and it doesn't work properly

 

That is because C++ isn't Windows Batch. That's like comparing a pea to a watermelon. C++ is the watermelon.

You need to compile C++ applications.

 

Except for the method of input/output used (iostream) seeing as it is a part of C++. I guess you are correct since those could easily be changed to be scanf() and printf() from C.

 

Looks like a lot of work, nice job 9/10
