I did a search on the C++ Grand Cru book, but I couldn't find an english description of it :/
So I don't know if it will teach you how to make a tic tac toe game, but if it is like all other C++ books, then it will give you a firm grasp on C++ so that you will be able to program anything (in theory [lol])
TicTacToe question
I get it! You want to draw the different pieces in the board, but without changing anything else. You want everything to stay in place, including the prompt for a new move and then the X or O appears in the board. You can use gotoxy() to do it for real, but you can "emulate" it, so to speak, by using system( "cls" ) to clear the screen and then redraw the board and prompt. I would really reccomend that you use this method along with an array because it makes everything so much simpler. You can use the array to check if anyone has won yet or if a move entered has already been taken. You can also eliminate any switch statements. This should draw the board the way I described. If I'm way off then just ignore me.

how do i make a function so the 1 goes away and you can type a new number?
where x and y are the position of the prompt
gotoxy(x,y)
putc(' ')
and then when you do your get player move just gotoxy(x,y) the same position
I fixed the error. The function get_pos() needs two arguments, and I only put one. Instead of
get_pos( board_array );
I should have put:
get_pos( board_array, turn );
get_pos( board_array );
I should have put:
get_pos( board_array, turn );
You are all making it way harder then this needs 2 be for such a simple version of TTT. First off using _gotoxy is not the best way to do this, and using one way just because "you wanna do it ur way" when there is a much better way is just plain dumb imo. Just make an array set 2 1-9 then build a board around it and when a person makes a move just replace their choice with a -1 or -2 etc then when u rewrite the board use a switch with case: -1 cout an X case 2: a Y default is just the 1-9 so they can see what the numbers r. See what I am saying? As for the input clearing just put it in a while loop like:
while(nobody has won)
{ -draw board with clearscrean
-get input
-do what i said above
}
rinse repeat. I would show you my TT game I made but I rebuilt it with an ascii board grr I just saved over old version on my floppy like 15 minutes ago =/
