In summary: This else statement will make sure that if the board position has a 1 in it that the player has won the game, so this will increase the Xwins variable } return result; } }In summary, the player using the letter X can go and make a move, but if the player using the letter O makes a move then the turn increases by 1. The player using the letter X can make a move every other turn, but the player using the letter O can only make a move once every two turns. The player using the letter X can win if the positions on the board 0,0 , 0,1 and 0,2

My statistics do not work can someone help me figure out why the X statistics and Cats Game statistics do not work.

Please encase your code in the code tags.
Its impossible to read as it stands.void main()
{
int i =0;
printf("Hello world%d\n", i);
return;
}

Vs

Code: 
void main()
{
int i =0;
printf("Hello world%d\n", i);
return;
}
which is easier to read?catsGame is never incremented.

What X stats are you getting??

Also your naming convention for objects should be improved (more as a general rule than a specific problem)
I like naming controls as <abv><Description>
For example cell 0,0 would be named tbCell00
cell 0,1 would be tbCell01

Having everyting TextBox1 TextBox2 doesn't tell you what is what :)

For the x stats it keeps getting put under the o stats.
 
  • #4
Trace the execution of the code.
Put a message box popup inside the check winner function.
I'd put one in 3 locations.
Just inside the fuction (so you know that the code when in there)
after the first IF statement
Code: 
if (board[0, 0] == 1 && board[0, 1] == 1 && board[0, 2] == 1 || board[0, 0] == 2 && board[0, 1] == 2 && board[0, 2] == 2)

then one each inside the sub if's where you check to see if X or O won. the
Code: 
if (board[0, 0] == 1)

The likely culprit is you've written an error in your if statements OR your logic is wrong
 
  • #5
You an also improve the logic of
Code: 
if (board[0, 0] == 1 && board[0, 1] == 1 && board[0, 2] == 1 || board[0, 0] == 2 && board[0, 1] == 2 && board[0, 2] == 2)

since you subsequently check to see if 0,0 is 1 or 2 all you care about if the first statement is if the 3 cells are the same. YOu could simplify it to:
Code: 
if (board[0, 0] == board[0, 1]  && board[0, 0] == board[0, 2] == 1)

How do I and where would I increment catsGame?

Where do you think you would??
What condition would prompt you to increment??

if (board[0, 2] == 1)
{

Xwins++;

}Would I increment it somewhere in my if statements?

Please use the CODE tags when posting code. Its under the + in the toolbar above where you type :)

In a TicTacToe game when does a cats game occur??
Where in your code are you checking for that condition? (hint that's where you'd increment it and bonus hint there appears to be multiple places)
 

FAQ: Solve My Tic Tac Toe Program Homework Problem

How does your Tic Tac Toe program work?

My Tic Tac Toe program uses a combination of algorithms and rules to determine the optimal move for the computer player. It first checks for any winning moves and blocks any potential winning moves by the opponent. If there are no immediate winning or blocking moves, it uses a minimax algorithm to analyze all possible future moves and choose the best one.

Can I customize the difficulty level of the computer player?

Yes, my Tic Tac Toe program has a customizable difficulty level. You can choose from easy, medium, or hard difficulty, which will adjust the computer player's strategy and decision-making to provide a suitable challenge for players of different skill levels.

How long did it take you to develop this program?

The development of my Tic Tac Toe program took approximately two weeks. This includes the initial planning and design process, coding, testing, and debugging.

Is your program guaranteed to never lose?

While my Tic Tac Toe program is designed to make optimal moves, it is not guaranteed to never lose. The game of Tic Tac Toe is relatively simple, and it is possible for a skilled human player to defeat the computer player.

Can I use your Tic Tac Toe program for commercial purposes?

Yes, my Tic Tac Toe program is free to use for personal and commercial purposes. However, please ensure to credit the source and include a link to the original program if possible.
