i need help here Sad

*this is the magic squares way, where you need a total of 15 to win across or vertically, I didnt rmeove the numbers from the magic squraes just yet, so youll see them in the caption still

im trying to get this tic tac toe to work, im 60% there, but now im clueless

probs:
in 2 player mode, i get the O's and X's tow ork, and the computer cna identify 3 X's in a row as a win or 3 O's in a row as a win, but anything more then that, itll lose count, because im using magic squres rule, so i just put if total =15, if any othe rocmbianation is used before I get 3 in a row it wont catch it obvously.

And in 1 playe rmode (which you can access by going to File, Game Options, 1 player) I relaly need help here
I cant get the computer to outup a "O" as soon as I press an X, i have to click again for it tput the O, i have it progrmamed so it immediatley puts a O in the middle, now I need to giv eit A.I. so its unbeatable,
i dotn want to change my design or approach cause ive been workig on it for a long time
thanks Smile

FOr the X's and O's things,

Just use Single Click as X's and DblClick as O's

That made no sense at all. First of all, in his version there are no X's and O's. Secondly, single and double click would be completely unnecessary for regular tic-tac-toe.

What are you talking about? Single and Double click is the easiest way to make a tic tac toe game.
