C++ Tic Tac Toe (Smart Computer Player Issue)
I am making a tic tac toe game program using a 1D array and I am having problems making the smart computer player. This computer player has to block the human player and if he can either block or win he has to choose to win. However, I wrote the code and thought that it would work but it isn't. The problem is that when it is the computer's turn it makes multiple moves in a single turn, also X is printed in one of the grids (X = human player) what is wrong with my code? Can anyone help me?
This is the function that makes the move for the computer
Code:
void goO3(char z[], const bool endMove)
{
bool endTurn = endMove;
cout << "\nComputer(HARD) turn to move: \n" << endl;
if (endTurn == false)
{
for(int i = 0; i < 9 && !endTurn ; i++)
{
if(endTurn == true) break;
if ((z[0] == 'O') && (z[1] == 'O') && (z[2] == ' ')) //1
{
z[2] = 'O';
endTurn = true;
}
if(endTurn == true) break;
if ((z[0] == ' ') && (z[1] == 'O') && (z[2] ='O')) //2
{
z[0] = 'O';
endTurn = true;
}
if(endTurn == true) break;
if ((z[0] == 'O') && (z[1] == ' ') && (z[2] ='O')) //3
{
z[1] = 'O';
endTurn = true;
}
if(endTurn == true) break;
if ((z[3] == 'O') && (z[4] == 'O') && (z[5] =' ')) //4
{
z[5] = 'O';
endTurn = true;

What you really should do is to break down this into functions. All those if statements make it very likely that you have some kind of cut&paste bug. What if you decide to make the grid bigger? Breaking down the code into functions/classes make it a lot easier to debug.

Re: C++ Tic Tac Toe (Smart Computer Player Issue)
Ok, I just checked my code again and it seems that in many of the else if states I was assigning a letter in an empty grid. My program is working as it should but I have encountered a new problem. I am supposed to keep the track of the scores and store it as .ini file and when I play again use that .ini to keep on adding the number of times x player or o players win or tie. I have no idea how to start this.

Re: C++ Tic Tac Toe (Smart Computer Player Issue)
How can I read a text file with words and number and store the number in int variables?

If you want a regular ini file use Get/WritePrivateProfileInt otherwise use the registry. See this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...75(VS.85).aspx
