----------------------------------- S_Grimm Thu Sep 18, 2008 8:32 am Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X's and O's ----------------------------------- Ok, i'm working on a little tic tac toe game during spare, and i need to draw the x's and o's. i don't want to use a pile of if\else statements, but will if nessesarry. more or less, i would like to be able to click the "square" and have the x or o drawn there. Any ideas? Thanks in advance A\V ----------------------------------- Ktomislav Thu Sep 18, 2008 8:51 am Re: Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X's and O's ----------------------------------- Something like this? View.Set ('offscreenonly') var x1, y1, x2, y2: int var x_mouse, y_mouse, button, buttonupdown: int x1 := 100 x2 := 200 y1 := 100 y2 := 200 Draw.Box (x1, y1, x2, y2, black) loop Mouse.Where (x_mouse, y_mouse, button) % or mousewhere if (button = 1) then Mouse.ButtonWait ("up", x_mouse, y_mouse, button, buttonupdown) Draw.Line (x1, y1, x2, y2, red) Draw.Line (x2, y1, x1, y2, red) View.Update end if end loop ----------------------------------- S_Grimm Thu Sep 18, 2008 12:39 pm RE:Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X\'s and O\'s ----------------------------------- something like it. but it needs to have a count so that i can check for win. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Thu Sep 18, 2008 12:48 pm RE:Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X\'s and O\'s ----------------------------------- You need a 2-d array to keep track of what square has been claimed by which team. Then you use a combination of for loops an if statements to check if someone has won. ----------------------------------- S_Grimm Tue Sep 23, 2008 10:32 am RE:Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X\'s and O\'s ----------------------------------- so and loop if square one and square 2 and square 3 are claimed by x then end loop sort of style? ----------------------------------- Insectoid Tue Sep 23, 2008 11:58 am RE:Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X\'s and O\'s ----------------------------------- Uh, its a bit more complicated than that... I suggest looking someone else's tic-tac-toe. (don't use mine, it's unreadable :)) ----------------------------------- Warchamp7 Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:03 pm Re: RE:Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X\'s and O\'s ----------------------------------- This is how I would end up doing it If a player goes in a sqaure, set the BoxArray for that square to 1 or 2 depending on the player then have a check BoxArray (1 to 9) PlayerCheck 1 is for X 2 is for O Game Grid 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 %Short example. Basically have every possible way to win in the if statement for XYZ : 1..2 PlayerCheck := XYZ if (BoxArray(1) = PlayerCheck and BoxArray(2) = PlayerCheck and BoxArray(3) = PlayerCheck) or (BoxArray(1) = PlayerCheck and BoxArray(5) = PlayerCheck and BoxArray(9) = PlayerCheck) then XWin := true else end if end for ----------------------------------- Insectoid Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:36 pm RE:Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X\'s and O\'s ----------------------------------- I'm fairly sure you need some brackets in that if statement, though I may be wrong. ----------------------------------- Warchamp7 Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:21 am Re: RE:Tic Tac Toe Help - Drawing X\'s and O\'s ----------------------------------- I'm fairly sure you need some brackets in that if statement, though I may be wrong.

I think that gitoxa has the right idea. Now, the only way that i can draw an x or o inside the grid when a mouse button is clicked is to use Mouse.Where and a series of if statements, right? Here's The Example: If mousex >= 0 and mousex = 0 and mousey
