Tic Tac Toe..Problem switching users

New D.I.C Head Joined: 19 Nov, 2008 Posts: 41 My Contributions	Ok I got almost all the code done I just can't seem to figure out how to switch the users, any ideas. Here is my code... CODE #include <iostream> using namespace std; class TicTacToe{ private: char theBoard [3][3]; public: TicTacToe(void); void playOneGame(void); void switchPlayer(char &); void showBoard(void); void postMove(int, int, char); char determineWinner(void); }; int main (void) { //test the class by playing one game TicTacToe Game1; Game1.playOneGame(); } void TicTacToe::playOneGame(void){ //start a game and play until someone wins or a draw occurs... const int MaxMoves = 9; char currentPlayer = 'O'; int row = 0; int clmn = 0; char theWinner = ' '; int nmbrOfMoves = 0; //keep track of the number of moves max is 9 do { switchPlayer(currentPlayer); //change player from x to o or vice versa showBoard(); cout << "\n\nPlayer " << currentPlayer << endl; //get the players move postMove(row, clmn, currentPlayer); //post the move to the board theWinner = determineWinner(); //see if anyone won the game nmbrOfMoves++; //keep track of the number of moves } while ((theWinner == 'D') && (nmbrOfMoves < MaxMoves)); showBoard(); //show the ending board if (theWinner != 'D') //declare a winner cout << "\n\nThe Winner is player " << theWinner << endl; else cout << "\n\nThe Game was a Draw"; } TicTacToe::TicTacToe(void) { //intialize the array contents int i, j; for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) for ( j = 0; j < 3; j++) theBoard[i][j] = ' '; } void TicTacToe::switchPlayer(char &currentPlayer) { //switches the current player } void TicTacToe::showBoard() { //displays the board void showBoard(void); { int t; for(t = 0; t < 3; t++) { printf (" %c \| %c \| %c ",theBoard[t][0], theBoard[t][1], theBoard[t][2]); if (t != 2) printf("\n---\|---\|---\n"); } printf ("\n"); } } void TicTacToe::postMove(int row, int col, char value) { //gets the users move and posts it to the board int x, y; printf("Enter Row (1,2,3),Column (1,2,3) for your move: "); scanf_s("%d%*c%d", &x, &y); x--, y--; if (theBoard [x][y] != ' ') { printf ("Invalid Move, Try Again.\n"); postMove(1, 3, x); } else theBoard [x][y] = 'O'; } char TicTacToe::determineWinner(void){ //analyzes the board to see if there is a winner //returns a X, O indicating the winner //if the game is a draw then D is returned //check the rows for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++){ if (theBoard[i][0] == theBoard[i][1] && theBoard[i][1] == theBoard[i][2] && theBoard[i][0] != ' '){ return theBoard[i][0]; } } //check the clmns for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++){ if (theBoard[0][i] == theBoard[1][i] && theBoard[1][i] == theBoard[2][i] && theBoard[0][i] != ' '){ return theBoard[0][i]; } } //check the diagnals if (theBoard[0][0] == theBoard[1][1] && theBoard[1][1] == theBoard[2][2] && theBoard[0][0] != ' ') { return theBoard[0][0]; } if (theBoard[2][0] == theBoard[1][1] && theBoard[1][1] == theBoard[0][2] && theBoard[2][0] != ' ') { return theBoard[2][0]; } return 'D'; }

New D.I.C Head Joined: 19 Nov, 2008 Posts: 41 My Contributions	Thank you very much, that is much appreciated....one more question. I added that line and now it switches the part that says player 'X' or 'O', but when I play a turn it just puts a 'O', not quite sure what I need to place after that to make it work right. I'll post my code again just incase. CODE #include <iostream> using namespace std; class TicTacToe{ private: char theBoard [3][3]; public: TicTacToe(void); void playOneGame(void); void switchPlayer(char &); void showBoard(void); void postMove(int, int, char); char determineWinner(void); }; int main (void) { //test the class by playing one game TicTacToe Game1; Game1.playOneGame(); } void TicTacToe::playOneGame(void){ //start a game and play until someone wins or a draw occurs... const int MaxMoves = 9; char currentPlayer = 'O'; int row = 0; int clmn = 0; char theWinner = ' '; int nmbrOfMoves = 0; //keep track of the number of moves max is 9 do { switchPlayer(currentPlayer); //change player from x to o or vice versa showBoard(); cout << "\n\nPlayer " << currentPlayer << endl; //get the players move postMove(row, clmn, currentPlayer); //post the move to the board theWinner = determineWinner(); //see if anyone won the game nmbrOfMoves++; //keep track of the number of moves } while ((theWinner == 'D') && (nmbrOfMoves < MaxMoves)); showBoard(); //show the ending board if (theWinner != 'D') //declare a winner cout << "\n\nThe Winner is player " << theWinner << endl; else cout << "\n\nThe Game was a Draw"; } TicTacToe::TicTacToe(void) { //intialize the array contents int i, j; for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) for ( j = 0; j < 3; j++) theBoard[i][j] = ' '; } void TicTacToe::switchPlayer(char &currentPlayer) { //switches the current player currentPlayer = currentPlayer = 'O' ? 'X' : 'O'; } void TicTacToe::showBoard() { //displays the board void showBoard(void); { int t; for(t = 0; t < 3; t++) { printf (" %c \| %c \| %c ",theBoard[t][0], theBoard[t][1], theBoard[t][2]); if (t != 2) printf("\n---\|---\|---\n"); } printf ("\n"); } } void TicTacToe::postMove(int row, int col, char value) { //gets the users move and posts it to the board int x, y; printf("Enter Row (1,2,3),Column (1,2,3) for your move: "); scanf_s("%d%*c%d", &x, &y); x--, y--; if (theBoard [x][y] != ' ') { printf ("Invalid Move, Try Again.\n"); postMove(1, 3, x); } else theBoard [x][y] = 'O'; } char TicTacToe::determineWinner(void){ //analyzes the board to see if there is a winner //returns a X, O indicating the winner //if the game is a draw then D is returned //check the rows for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++){ if (theBoard[i][0] == theBoard[i][1] && theBoard[i][1] == theBoard[i][2] && theBoard[i][0] != ' '){ return theBoard[i][0]; } } //check the clmns for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++){ if (theBoard[0][i] == theBoard[1][i] && theBoard[1][i] == theBoard[2][i] && theBoard[0][i] != ' '){ return theBoard[0][i]; } } //check the diagnals if (theBoard[0][0] == theBoard[1][1] && theBoard[1][1] == theBoard[2][2] && theBoard[0][0] != ' ') { return theBoard[0][0]; } if (theBoard[2][0] == theBoard[1][1] && theBoard[1][1] == theBoard[0][2] && theBoard[2][0] != ' ') { return theBoard[2][0]; } return 'D'; }

New D.I.C Head Joined: 19 Nov, 2008 Posts: 41 My Contributions	Ok, I have added some code to the switch user part and it works....at first. the problem isn't with the turns anymore it is now that it is displaying either the wrong persons turn or it is not displaying it at all. Here is the code... CODE #include <iostream> using namespace std; class TicTacToe{ private: char theBoard [3][3]; public: TicTacToe(void); void playOneGame(void); void switchPlayer(char &); void showBoard(void); void postMove(int, int, char); char determineWinner(void); }; int main (void) { //test the class by playing one game TicTacToe Game1; Game1.playOneGame(); } void TicTacToe::playOneGame(void){ //start a game and play until someone wins or a draw occurs... const int MaxMoves = 9; char currentPlayer = 'O'; int row = 0; int clmn = 0; char theWinner = ' '; int nmbrOfMoves = 0; //keep track of the number of moves max is 9 do { switchPlayer(currentPlayer); //change player from x to o or vice versa showBoard(); cout << "\n\nPlayer " << currentPlayer << endl; //get the players move postMove(row, clmn, currentPlayer); //post the move to the board theWinner = determineWinner(); //see if anyone won the game nmbrOfMoves++; //keep track of the number of moves } while ((theWinner == 'D') && (nmbrOfMoves < MaxMoves)); showBoard(); //show the ending board if (theWinner != 'D') //declare a winner cout << "\n\nThe Winner is player " << theWinner << endl; else cout << "\n\nThe Game was a Draw"; } TicTacToe::TicTacToe(void) { //intialize the array contents int i, j; for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) for ( j = 0; j < 3; j++) theBoard[i][j] = ' '; } void TicTacToe::switchPlayer(char &currentPlayer) { //switches the current player currentPlayer = currentPlayer == 'O' ?

Think about what you're doing.
