Tic Tac Toe Game

[xanderman2113]

Ok, so I have been tasked with the creation of a simple tic tac toe game. I have brainstormed some and figured out how to draw the board and get the game going, but am semi stuck from here on. I just need to know how I can get the user's input into the board and from there I think it should be fairly easy to determine the winner, and the computer generated move. I also need to do these in their own methods.

Here's what I have so far:

code:

//12/14/2014 //The purpose of this program is to play a tic tac toe game against the computer //The TicTacToe class. import java.awt.*; import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class TicTacToe {         public static char DrawBoard (char [] [] Board)        //DrawBoard Method     {         char DrawBoard = '-' ;                 System.out.println("-------------");                         for (int row = 0 ; row < 3 ; row = row + 1)         {             System.out.print ("| ") ;             for (int column = 0 ; column < 3 ; column = column + 1)             {                 System.out.print (Board [row] [column] + " | ") ;                 DrawBoard = Board [row] [column] ;             }             System.out.println () ;             System.out.println ("-------------") ;         }         return (DrawBoard) ;     }         //public static int Winner ()        //Winner Method     //{             //}         public static void main (String[] args)     {     //Variable declaration     Scanner kbReader = new Scanner(System.in);     char [] [] Board = new char [3] [3] ;     String MenuInput ;     int BoardOutput ;         //Welcome     System.out.println ("Welcome to Tic Tac Toe game!.") ;     System.out.println ("") ;     System.out.println ("If you wish to play, type 'Play'") ;     System.out.println ("If you wish to read the instructions, type 'Instructions'") ;     System.out.println ("If you wish to exit, type 'Exit'") ;     MenuInput = kbReader.next () ;         if (MenuInput.equals ("Play") || MenuInput.equals ("play"))     {         System.out.println ("\f") ;         System.out.println (" Tic Tac Toe") ;         BoardOutput = DrawBoard (Board) ;                 System.out.println ("Please enter the coordinates you wish to place your move.") ;             }         else if (MenuInput.equals ("Instructions") || MenuInput.equals ("instructions"))     {         System.out.println ("\f") ;         System.out.println ("You will be playing the game of Tic Tac Toe against the computer.") ;         System.out.println ("The object of this game is to get three of your own x's or o's in a line.") ;            System.out.println ("You take turns placing the x's and o's and whoever gets three in a row first wins.") ;         System.out.println ("Good Luck!") ;         System.out.println ("") ;         System.out.println ("If you wish to play, type 'Play'") ;         System.out.println ("If you wish to exit, type 'Exit'") ;         MenuInput = kbReader.next () ;     }         else if (MenuInput.equals ("Exit") || MenuInput.equals ("exit"))     {         System.out.println ("Thank you for using   Tic Tac Toe game!") ;         System.exit (0) ;     }         else     {         System.out.println ("Sorry, that is not a valid choice.") ;         System.out.println ("If you wish to play, type 'Play'") ;         System.out.println ("If you wish to read the instructions, type 'Instructions'") ;         System.out.println ("If you wish to exit, type 'Exit'") ;         MenuInput = kbReader.next () ;     }     } // main method     } // TicTacToe class

Thanks!
