making a tic tac toe game C++

Hey,

I'm having trouble getting a simple tic tac toe game to work with visual studio C++ 2010 express and dev-c++. Can anyone get it working and let me know the steps?

I tried the code on this website for the game in both compilers with no success.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Joe

First of all, you will need to download and install Allegro...

Did you?

and why do you need dev-c++ and visual c++?

hey,

I have allegro downloaded

I was just trying in either compiler since they work a bit differently, sorry for the dev C++ and express 2010 confusion.

Any help would be appreciated if anyone has gotten a game like this working.

So far, you have not said what doesn't work. Is it a compiler error? Linker error? Runtime error?

If you told us in more detail what exactly doesn't work, then maybe no one needs to download all of these libraries to help you.

hey,

Right now It says that visual studio 2010 can't find the file lesson9/debug/ConsoleLesson9.exe.

I tried saving the main.cpp file as that though and it's still not finding it. very odd.

hey ! I've made my own tic tac toe game didn't take long !
here's the code so you can check on it if you feel like it

#include <iostream>
#include "conio.h"
