This is where I'm going to ask for help from now on to limit thread quantity. The current problem is I can't fit in the code from DeadTom below into the program for a random computer spot selector.

Also just so you know this code is going to be given out to everyone in the forums so they can mess with it, or learn from it. Thought I might say if it would help to finish this. THANK YOU!

*EDIT*
Attached below is the .exe file of Terrestrial Productions Tic Tac Toe Multiplayer. Everthing is now finished, except we might update the graphics.

First, to say or put ||(shift \) instead of &&.

About the part where you are having trouble:

Here is a way to lose the loop

+ Code Snippet

int spots[9]=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
int max=8;
//every time a spot is taken
spots[the_taken_spot_between_zero_and_eight_inclusive]=spots[max];
max--;

//every time the Ai goes to pick a spot at random
dbRandomize ( dbTimer ( ) );
ComputerFirst = spots[dbRnd ( max )];

Edit:
new code This covers the entire AI's turn the first part are the vars that must be declared

+ Code Snippet

int spots[9]=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
int max=8;
int places[3][3]=0;
int wirow=0;
int wicolum=0;//0,0 is the first spot.
//every time the Ai goes to pick a spot at random
dbRandomize ( dbTimer ( ) );
ComputerFirst = spots[dbRnd ( max )];
spots[ComputerFirst]=spots[max];
max--;
wirow=ComputerFirst/3.;
wicolum=ComputerFirst-wirow*3;
places[wicolum][wirow]=2;
dbCircle ( 200+100*wicolum, 125+100*wirow, 48 );
Turn=true;

As you can see, this is alot shorter than what you have right now.
What I suggest is make a 3x3 int array(places in the code) in which 0 means empty, 1 means taken by player one, and 2 means taken by the AI.

This allows you to use more loops to check through for three in-a-row.

I'll get a new signature someday.

thanks for the effort for this, but I am kinda lost on where to put the code and how to implant it. Are you saying that I use those "
ints", and when it comes to the part of code needed to pick a random spot use the bottom portion? Also will it work to detect a spot allready taken by a pre-organized move, because right now if the player goes first the computer picks a spot that has the best chance of winning. Could I use the if (// the code needed for pre-organized move//), and else if (//then use the random one?//)
Thanks!

Yes, the bottom part is meant to be-Wait,shouldn't this:
else if ( AA == false &&
AB == false &&
AC == false &&
BA == false &&
BB == false &&
BC == false &&
CA == false &&
CB == false &&
CC == true && CAi == 1 ){
be this:
else if ( AA == false &&
AB == false &&
AC == false &&
BA == false &&
BB == false &&
BC == false &&
CA == false &&
CB == false &&
CC == true && CCi == 1 ){
Anyway, the bottom part is meant to be the replacement for every thing from while ( Turn == false ){ to the end bracket of the while loop

I'll get a new signature someday.

. Continuing from the last post...
instead of using AA and AB to tell if the spot is taken, you could just use AAi and ABi to do this. Have 0 mean untaken, 1 mean player taken, and 2 mean AI taken. This eliminates the need for AA and AB etc.
Along the same line of thought, have AAi, ABi...CCi be replaced by an array. like "int places[3][3];"
This allows you to loop through the places on the board rather than name them specifically. And it line up with the code I gave you earlier. If you don't transfer you variables over to this sort of format you really can't use all of what I gave you.

The idea behind the array "spots" is to have a list of open places from which the computer can randomly select a spot to occupy.

Every time a spot is taken you should have some code like this:

+ Code Snippet

spots[the_taken_spot_between_zero_and_eight_inclusive]=spots[max];
max--;
places[wicolum][wirow]=1 or 2;//1 is for player and 2 is for AI

the first two lines manage the open places. The third claims the place for one of the players. Keep in mind you need to know which row and which colum the spot is in(row and colum numbers range from 0-2). (arrays are indexed from 0 up)

It is hard to explain exactly how the first two lines work, but it is not complicated. Just draw out spots on paper as it starts and see what happens as random spots are taken.

Something to keep in mind, When you make a variable and don't assign a value, it is not automatically anything in particular.
Instead, it is filled with garbage.

I'll get a new signature someday.

Am I doing what you said to do correctly?

Ok I did NOT do that correctly at all. I don't understand fully how that would work, but

Quote: "wirow=ComputerFirst/3.;
wicolum=ComputerFirst-wirow*3;"

how does that work? I mean if it chose to be "2" and you divide it by three it would place the circle to the left of the grid board. Did you just do that as an example code or what? Also since a human player would go as well how would I work that in? This really confused me.

Oh! I did not know you edited.

Ok, in the quote. If you chose 2 then the first line makes wirow=2/3=0. 2/3=0.6666...which gets truncated to 0.
Then the second line is wicolum=2-0*3=2.
This means that the spot with the star is the selected spot.
00* 0
000 1
000 2

012

Quote: "place the circle to the left of the grid board"

Are you saying that the circles do not get drawn in the correct spot? By my math they should be drawn at 200 + 100 * wicolum=200+200=400 (which is correct) and 125 + 100 * wirow=125
which is also correct.

You are not done transforming your code. The way I set up my code was so that you had to get rid of the AAi, ABi, etc and use "places" instead.

This may take some work but none of it is complex. The basic way to transform your code is to replace All AAi with places[0][0] and ABi with places[1][0].

To be continued...

I'll get a new signature someday.

Continuing.. To use this code for other players just run the same code except determine which spot to take based on user input instead of a random. Also you can probably get rid of the lines in the quote you gave because you will probably already know those.

I'll get a new signature someday.

Ahh I see how you're doing it now. And actually no circles were even being drawn. I was getting annoyed so I stopped with the AI and made a seperate .cpp for 2 player tic tac toe! It is almost done and will be posted as an .exe file as soon as possible! If you would like the code you will need to be a member of Terrestrial Productions!

*EDIT*
.Exe file of Tic Tac Toe Multiplayer is available on the first comment.

Uhh but before I do I need to clean up a few problems. In the game when I click an area and not release ( since it's two player ) I can play the whole game with one click. How would I make it so that I couldn't go on another spot until I release?

*EDIT*
Well I figured it out myself so I will post how I did.

+ Code Snippet

bool Mousei = false;
bool MouseRelease = false;

int Mousei2 = 0;

if ( dbMouseClick () == 1 ){
    Mousei = true;
    Mousei2 = 1;}
else { Mousei = false; }
if ( Mousei == false && Mousei2 == 1 )
    MouseRelease = true;

// Now whenever you need a mouse release code put 
if ( MouseRelease == true && /* whatever */ )
    // Your action.

Also in your action part of the "if" statement make sure you put "MouseRelease = false;" so that it can reset itself.
