Hi,
I need a subrutine for when you have a draw in tic tac toe.
I'm still learning the language so bare with the long code.
The way I have it set up, it prints the winner stuff when there is a winner and the draw stuff when there is a draw, but if someone wins on the last turn it prints the winner stuff and the draw stuff. If someone wins on the last move I don't want it to print the draw stuff if it isn't supose to. (obviosly right) LOL

I believe I need to set up something that checks for a win on the 9th move of the game and if there is no winner then it prints It's a draw. Can someone help me ?
Here is my code that I have from the loop on down

the First Suggestion I would make is to rethink your apparoach. Consider the point that tic tac toe is an array of 3 x 3

dim tictactoe(3,3)

This allows you to check for all conditions using

for x = 1 to 3
for Y = 1 to 3
Testfuntion1(x,y)
next y
next x

I believe this will rationalize you approach

About a month back I posted code for a complete Noughts & Crosses (to us Brits) or Tic Tac Toe (to Yankees) game. I've attached it again.

Unfortunately it uses sub-routines but that was because I was being lazy and didn't feel like using functions, like a good bear should.

Cheers

Phil

What do you mean, bears aren't supposed to wear hats and a tie?
