Problem with scoring system in tic-tac-toe
Author
I have everything working. The problem is exactly when this sequence occurs.
Player 1 wins, and then Player1 looses. When this happens, the winning
percentage does not output correctly. But when I debug it with Microsoft express
it outputs fine. I am using c++/opengl/glut. Any clues on why this might be
happening?
And say, if its a draw or a lost first and a win or whatever next, then the program works fine.
Any ideas on why or how this might be caused?

I thought there might be a common mistake.
Here is the code for the winning percentage :
Note this code makes some assumptions like the player wont play more than 1000 games.

You are really complicating your code. You appear to be mixing C and C++. In C++, we use std::string for text, not strcpy and char arrays. We also use library functions to convert between numbers and strings.
Here is a sample implementation. Note how the winPrctg isn't stored explicitly, we just use
The standard library type "stringstream" converts data to and from a string. You can access it by including <sstream>. It acts like any other stream you are used to (std::cin and std::cout), but it also has the handy "str()" function, which returns the current contents as a std::string instance (it can also be used to set the current contents).

I will look into sstream but for now, If I change the code it will complicate things. Here is the code for incrementing PlayerNumberWins. Its basically hard coded way to check for win.
bool MainGame::checkPlayerWin(){ if(Won[0] && Won[1] && Won[2]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} else//Check win top row across if(Won[0] && Won[3] && Won[6]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} else//Check win top left row down if(Won[0] && Won[4] && Won[8]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} else//Check top left diagonally if(Won[1] && Won[4] && Won[7]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} else//Check middle row down if(Won[2] && Won[5] && Won[8]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} else//Check Top right doing down if(Won[2] && Won[4] && Won[6]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} else//Check right Diagnonal if(Won[3] && Won[4] && Won[5]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} else//Check middle right if(Won[6] && Won[7] && Won[8]) {Player1.NumberOfWins++; whichState = stateEnd; p1Win = true; return true;} //Check down right return false; }
What happens in the case of a tie? Are NumberofWins and NumberofLosses both increased by .5?
NumberOfLosses and NumberOfWins don't happen to be integers, do they? Do you know what happens when you divide an integer by another integer?

If there is a tie the I have this function :
quote : NumberOfLosses and NumberOfWins don't happen to be integers, do they? Do you know what happens when you divide an integer by another integer?
Not sure what you are saying, but it gets truncated, if thats what you mean.
bool MainGame::checkIfGameisDraw(bool gameBrd[]){ int cntr = 0; int i=0; while(i<9) //check if the game board is full { if(cGame.gameBoard == Player1.playerChoice || cGame.gameBoard == cAI.AI_ID) cntr++; else break; ++i; } if(cntr == 9) //if everyhing is filled in the gameBorad. if(!(cGame.checkCompWin(gameBrd) || cGame.checkPlayerWin() )) //check if player or comp has won { DrawGame = true; whichState = stateEnd; Player1.NumberOfDrawGames++; return true; } return false;}quote : NumberOfLosses and NumberOfWins don't happen to be integers, do they? Do you know what happens when you divide an integer by another integer?

Thanks. I found the problem. For some reason the code was not updating the
winning percentage. Not sure why because it in correct order. Whatever. Thanks
guys.Almost done!
