Hi,

This is my first attemp at posting a question for help. I'm an IT student and I have very limited experience with programming. I am currently enrolled in a VB.NET programming class where our first project is to program a game of Tic Tac Techno which is like tic tac toe but on a 4x4 grid instead of a 3x3 grid. This is intended to be a one player game and the alternate move is programmed in to the code.

The game seems to work properly with one little glitch, (which is actually really big) sometimes when a box is chosen (which marks it with an X) it sometimes results in more than one O (computer move). I have proofed my code and can't seem to find any errors. I'm sure there is a simple solution to this, but being so new to this it's not so simple to me.

I know this is a lot of code to post, but I'm sure it's the only way you can really see what I may be doing wrong or what I'm missing. I'm also going to add it in as an attachment. Not sure which way is better, so I'll cover all the bases.

Thank you in acvance for your time and effort.

I'ld say it's somewhere in the IF-Then statements. LOL

Look at Tic Tac Toe topic from earlier this month.

even if an early If-Then is executed, so are any following If-Thens unless you redirect it after the computer makes it's move.

I already looked at the tic tac toe topic and all it really did was confuse me more....LOL.

I understand what you're saying about all of the if-then statements being executed, so how would I redirect it?

Does the tic tac toe game have to have a smart AI
If Not then you can just have if There are three in a row like this
[code]
If Button1.Text = Button2.Text And Button2.Text = Button3.Text And Button4.Text = Button5.Text Then
' What ever you want to do
then for all other possibilities Randomly Pick a box to go in like this
[code]
Private sub Random()
Randomize ()
Dim WhichBox as integer
Randomize()
WhichBox = Int(Rnd() * 15) + 1
' Then set mychoice1 As The button You want To dislplay O in.

I guess

If i understand correctly, you tried to write Al to 4x4 tictactoe. And you wrote a defensive 1 that probably would never win.

You can use goto label in every if, if you want to continue what you started, like you were.

Or you could use

		If Button1.Text = "X" And Button6.Text = "" Then
			Button6.Text = "O"
		Else 'insert your next if on the next line

		end if 'at the end

I'm not quite following you completely here, but I already tried something like that and it doesn't work. Isn't that what you would do for a 2 player game?
In the one I'm doing, the player makes the first and all consecutive odd moves, which triggers the second and all consecutive even moves. (I guess that's what you probably mean by AI, right?)

It's not a defensive one that will never win, if you look at the code, I followed the same path for each else-if.

if I use goto will this stop it from checking every else-if statement?

As for the code you wrote here, that is what I did....isn't it?

barbd,
i recently programmed a tic tac toe game. for the AI what i did was first check if the computer player was in a position to win, if so i would have the AI score the win. by this i mean if the computer had 2 O's in a row, then the AI would place a O in the 3rd spot to for the win.
then if there were not 2 computer O's in a row, i would check to see if there were 2 computer X's in a row, so that the computer could block the win. if there were not 2 O's or 2 X's in a row, i would have the computer select a completely random square to go. doing this allowed for a different game everytime. if you program logic such as
If Button1.Text = "X" And Button6.Text = "" Then
Button6.Text = "O"
then everytime the user select button1 the computer will do that exact same thing everytime.

1. check for computer win
2. check for block human win
3. go in random spot

basically i wrote a method/function for each of these and returned a bool from them. so if checkComputerWin() == false then i would call checkBlockHuman() and so forth. let me know if this helps any

Thank you, but no, this doesn't help. Our professor does not want us to do a "smart" AI game, just the basic I go here, the puter goes there....etc.

This is my 4th day straigt working on this for at least 8 hours a day (I work full time too ) and I'm getting pretty fried. can you help me out with an example of wht you mean by if else end if. Would I have to reprogram everything I've already done? Or do I just need to change some of my else if's to ifs?

How would I do a goto? I've never used one or even seen one in any of the tutorials I've done so far.

How do I redirect it? Do I need to asign turns? How would I do that for a 1 player game?

I revived the thread that orangeslide8 and I worked on earlier this month. You may need to read it all, all the way through to understand everthing. This is not a simple thing to learn, but that's what it's all about anyway, right?

Continue the orangeslide8 thread instead of returning to this one.
