damn.. this much code just for a simple game....
A lot happens inside the game while you enjoy the scene of the game.
thank you
Great work
@@chriijack101 same problem I can't replay
this is the most elaborating way of programming that invokes all the materials that you study in c programming. Thank you
Thank you for providing this information for free man, appreciate it! I am about to go into my second year as a CS major and did not know where to go after learning Java so these tutorials have been great for learning the basic syntax of another language
Watching this tutorial in 2024 and absolutely enjoying learning C from you. Followed your course from the first video till the last and now i feel very confident in C language.
This guy never disappoints🙌.
Respect man❤❤
Keep making such insightful and useful videos
Yo! Very good informative video . Btw advance congrats for 200k . U deserve more
I love you bro keep it up I am learning a lot thanks to you!!
From a student who's learning programming and runs out of time, thank you a lot Bro Code
I'm just beginning to learn and followed this example. It's great, thank you. So far I've added the ability to choose whether to be X or O, who goes first, and made it alternate who goes first after each game. I'm going to work on the AI now.
how are you doing?
Thanks bro, nice approach for this problem
This video definitely deserves more views
Sit back relax and enjoy the show
Thank you for this. I easily altered it to make it a two player game, add an option for player names and a nice little menu. In the words of Homer SImpson "GAAHHHHGGHHH! More, please!"
Thx bro, i’ve learn so much from you
Yo Bro Code, u gotta hit us up with some videos on pointers. I appreciate all the hard work u put in here cuz it really translates to a learning experience for me and many others here.
hi bro I have ended this tutorial right now , and I want to start c++ tutorial . I want to say thank u for teaching fast and very good . best regards
Great work ...!!!!
Completed Bro! Thanks for this video.
So great bro !
"Sit back relax and enjoy the show" :) and i also finished the course, Thanks bruh
My first game reloaded thank you❣️ love from 🇳🇵
Correct me if I'm wrong. The checkFreespaces() function within the computerMove() function is unnecessary since the main function already contains a while loop checking for that. The printWinner(' '); statement in the computerMove() function is also pointless since the winner=checkWinner() is already doing the job in main function.
yes !!
TY very helpful
thank u so much!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Completed the whole series and now I'm ready to ace my midterms
I finished the course ❤ thanks bro
Hey bro..first of all thanks a lot for all the free courses... I would like to know something, How can i prevent the player from winning? And How the computer can block the player winning move?
like, if player move 2 X horizontally or vertically, how the computer can prevent player from winning? you response would be very helpful... I'm eagerly waiting for your response.
Thank you, awesome breakdown....One small improvement: if you add && board[i][0] != ' ' to the check rows if statement in the checkeWinner() function (and of course && board[0][j] != ' ' for columns etc) it will ensure that it doesn't prematurely return from that function if it sees that for instance the top row is still all ' ' even if you win in the bottom row. It doesn't come up that often, but it's irritating when it does, I made a 2 player version of this so I was able to force this corner case and it drove me crazy until I finally figured out how to solve it with he simple fix above.
exactly !!
can you explain a bit more my stupid brain can't comprehend this.😅
thank you so much!!

Thanks man, awesome
I have reached the end. Thank you for the time you've given some random fellow human beings. It's more important than you know and made a big difference for this random human being. If I survive through my next few months fast track I will not forget to let you know.
Thanks ! I modified the code to set pawn and a toss will be performed to decide who will go first

hi ,a quick question: can we use else if statement when making checkwinner() condition for diagonal elements
Thank you
Nice bro❤
Im halfway through. Very nice tutorial that is helping me with my project.
I had one thought though, since we (humans) are accoustumed to x moving in a in horizontal line and y moving in a vertical line, the createBoard function would should better be thus in my opinion:
void printBoard(){
printf("c% | c% | c% |",board[0][0],board[1][0],board[2][0]);
printf("
...|...|...
");
printf("c% | c% | c% |",board[0][1],board[1][1],board[2][1]);
printf("
...|...|...
");
printf("c% | c% | c% |",board[0][2],board[1][2],board[2][2]);
printf("
...|...|...
");
printf("
");
};
What do you think ? All argumentators welcome ;)
This is so confusing… I don’t think that’s how matrices work
i would like to argue that we humans are more accustomed to matrices and the createBoard function in the video is more easy to understand and visualize than your version
Moreover your version would print the transpose of the matrix rather than the original matrix .
This Code is so Useful
I have a question. Can you use while-loop instead d0-while-loop in function playerMove?
Of course U can. U just need to write any condition inside while loop like while(1>0) , so that it will loop infinite times.
This if condition here means that it
will break the loop only if board[x][y] == ' ';
Otherwise it will loop because 1 is always more that 0.
else
{
board[x][y] = PLAYER;
break;
}
while(1>0)
{
printf("Enter row #(1-5): ");
scanf("%d",&x);
x--;
printf("Enter colum #(1-5): ");
scanf("%d",&y);
y--;
if(board[x][y] != ' ')
{
printf("Invalid move!
");
}
else
{
board[x][y] = PLAYER;
break;
}
}
thx!!
Cool.
its taking input even when we give column no as 4, which should give invalid? why is that?
Евала братле. С туй си взех курсовата работа. Продължавай така, че още 7 семестъра ще трябва!

How can I make user input the number for the grid(nxn), e.g: 5x5 or 6x6
That's some heavy stuff for beginner
cool
best guy on the internet
For determining the win condition, how would you go about doing it through a Switch statement?
dont
I guess you are preparing a c full tutorial
Hello guys, when I type Y or N, I get an error saying:
The term 'n' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again.

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (n:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Can someone help?
Finally done :D
How would you check for winner if it was a 5x5 or 6x6 instead of 3x3 grid?
I think with same way, U just need to add more rows and columns
this is for 5x5
The answer of ur question is in point 6).
1).so first of all we need to change char board and make it 5 to 5 2d matrix.(board[5][5]).
2).Change the resetBorad function. The condition will be for(int i = 0;i < 5; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
board[i][j] = ' ';
}
}
3). Now it's time for printing our board, instead of writing the same thing 5 time, we can use nested loop like this.
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
{
printf(" %c | %c | %c | %c | %c
", board[i][0], board[i][1], board[i][2], board[i][3], board[i][4]);
if(i < 4)
printf("---|---|---|---|---
");
}
The output will be .\
| | | | ---------- first row
---|---|---|---|---
| | | | ---------- second row
---|---|---|---|---
| | | | ---------- third row
---|---|---|---|---
| | | | ---------- fourth row
---|---|---|---|---
| | | | ---------- fifth row
4). Now we need to change checkFreeSpaces() function. In the 3x3 we wrote 9 coz we have 9 free spaces, now we have 25 free spaces.
int checkFreeSpaces()
{
int freeSpaces = 25;
for(int i = 0;i < 5; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
if(board[i][j] != ' ')
{
freeSpaces--;
}
}
}
return freeSpaces;
}
5).In playerMove function we can just change printf function to printf("Enter row #(1-5): ");
printf("Enter colum #(1-5): ");
6). Now let's change the checkWinner() function.
In 5x5 matrix we have this struction. That is why when we r giving for example 5 rows and 5 columns with scanf function, it is decrementing with -1 wich is giving us [4][4].
[ 0][ 0 ] , [ 0 ][ 1 ], [ 0 ][ 2 ], [ 0 ][ 3 ] , [ 0 ][ 4 ]
[ 1][ 0 ] , [ 1 ][ 1 ], [ 1 ][ 2 ], [ 1 ][ 3 ] , [ 1 ][ 4 ]
[ 2][ 0 ] , [ 2 ][ 1 ], [ 2 ][ 2 ], [ 2 ][ 3 ] , [ 2 ][ 4 ]
[ 3][ 0 ] , [ 3 ][ 1 ], [ 3 ][ 2 ], [ 3 ][ 3 ] , [ 3 ][ 4 ]
[ 4][ 0 ] , [ 4 ][ 1 ], [ 4 ][ 2 ], [ 4 ][ 3 ] , [ 4 ][ 4 ]
char checkWinner()
{
//check rows
for(int i = 0 ; i < 5; i++)
{
if(board[i][0]== board[i][1] && board[i][0] == board[i][2] && board[i][0] == board[i][3] && board[i][0] == board[i][4])
{
return board[i][0];
}
}
//check columns
for(int i = 0 ; i < 5; i++)
{
if(board[0][i] == board[1][i] && board[0][i] == board[2][i] && board[0][i] == board[3][i] && board[0][i] == board[4][i])
{
return board[0][i];
}
}
//check diagonals
if(board[0][0]== board[1][1] && board[0][0] == board[2][2] && board[0][0] == board[3][3] && board[0][0] == board[4][4])
{
return board[0][0];
}
if(board[0][4]== board[1][3] && board[0][4] == board[2][2] && board[0][4] == board[3][1] && board[0][4] == board[4][0])
{
return board[0][4];
}
return ' ';
}
7).Change computerMove() function
We r leaving seed the same(with time) , so that every time we will have different random numbers.
Then we r generating random number with rand() function. We wrote
x = rand() % 3 ; because we wanted to generate from 0 to 2.
But now we need to generate from 0 to 4.
So we write x = rand() % 5 ;
It will now generate 0-4.
if we want to increase the range we can add (+number), for example
x = (rand() % 5) + 2;
Now it will generate from 2 to 6.
void computerMove()
{
srand(time(0));
int x;
int y;
if(checkFreeSpaces() > 0)
{
do
{
x = rand() % 5;
y = rand() % 5;
}while(board[x][y] != ' ');
board[x][y] = COMPUTER;
}
else
{
printWinner(' ');
}
8) and the final one... Enjoy and have fun with codes :)))))

I don't understand how I managed to follow one for one with the video, understand it, and yet the program fails to run lmao
can you create board with nested loops instead of copy paste 3 times? appreciate the video!
I think u can only loop first two rows, the last one is different
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
{
printf(" %c | %c | %c
", board[i][0], board[i][1], board[i][2]);
printf("---|---|---
");
}
I tried like this, but it creates 1 additional horizontal line
X | X | O
---|---|---
O | X | O
---|---|---
O | X | X
---|---|---
IT's working right with additional if(i
Which engine u used?
could you do this for c# program?
use the same approch, yu have now the logic and you only need the syntax. go for it and try it yourself
uuu this is the last episode
i finished the course
printf("Thanks a lot buddy");
Made mine somehow it was 356 lines 🤣☠️, I did make mine a class and my computer knows when you are about to win and stops you so it always ends in a draw or you make a mistake and the computer wins
there's no error in my code but still when i enter where i want to place my x it doesn't show me where i have placed it, the board stays empty.
same, it keeps displaying empty board no matter what move i enter :(
How do people know such things, good Lord.
Why no "for" loop in printBoard???
I will came back again, its kinda to hard for me 😢😂
Can anyone make a algorithm flowchart for this code??
Hey there, I'm getting the 'It's a tie" message at the start of running the code. Does anyone know why that may be?

would it be a problem if after watching this, i cant do it on my own without watching the video? :(
thats like asking if you cant take the term exam after attending a single lecture

U can use standard method Cout & Cin. I think there wouldn't be any problem.
