Tic - Tac - Toe Game - Please Help!
Hi everyone, I am attempting to create a tic - tac - toe game (O's & X's).
I would like there to be two playing modes to the game, the first mode will be one player where the user plays against the computer. The second mode is a two - player game, where two users play, one being X's and the other being O's.
Can anyone help me get started with this game, I know there is source code on the internet but I would rather not use this as I would like to learn as I create the game.
Thanks Everyone
its amazing how much code a simple game like tic-tac-toe can require.. well, only if you program the AI of the computer.. i wrote one in c++ last year, for my computer science class, and the whole class had trouble with it, mainly the AI.. a suggestion to you: write it in an object-oriented manner. i ended up writing it procedurally and in the end, it looked very bad, but it worked!
i would prob. setup some objects like: Board (the 3x3 grid), Mark (a user mark, such as an "x" or an "o")..
i dunno.. hope that helps some, if you need help with the AI at all.. i do have the tic-tac-toe program i wrote on my website (http://www.angelfire.com/blues/smb/ ) in the C++ section.. i used a graphics package, but the logic is all there and the code is well commented.
anyway, ill talk to ya later, good luck,

Tic tac toe problem please help
hi,
My program consists of 4 classes but working bit by bit and currently using 2 classes. I've managed to get an 'X' to appear on the grid but I'm having problems arranging it like a tic tac toe grid and another number appears under the number selected by the player next to the grid, how do i get rid of it?? the output is like this.........
// output
Enter player's Name:
Name:
dave
dave to play
Enter move by selecting number from grid, or 0 to draw
Move entered:
1
1 0X23456789
it also says "String index out of range:-1 any ideas what this means?????
heres my source code for the program....
//Main program
public class TheTest1
public static void main( String [] args)
TheTest TT = new TheTest();
TT.gridSheet("0123456789", true);
// TheTest
import element.* ; // import the package that contains
// the ConsoleWindow class
public class TheTest
String name1;
String turn;
int cell, move;
final static char NOUGHT='O', CROSS='X';
public TheTest()
c.out.println("Enter player's Name:");
c.out.println("Name:");
name1 = c.input.readString();
turn = name1;
move();
public void move()
if(turn.compareTo(name1)==0)
c.out.println(name1 + " to play");
c.out.println("Enter move by selecting number from grid, or 0 to draw");
c.out.println("Move entered: ");
cell = c.input.readInt();
public void gridSheet(String fruit, boolean play)
for(int j = 1; j<9; j=j+3)
char index;
for(int i = j; i<(j+3); i++)
if(play==true)
index = fruit.charAt (i);
c.out.print (index + " ");
//index = fruit.charAt(i);
if(cell==1 && turn.compareTo(name1)==0)
cell=fruit.indexOf('1');
fruit=fruit.substring(0,cell) + CROSS + fruit.substring(cell+1);
c.out.println(fruit);
//move();
//c.out.println(" ");
Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks
Davethis is a tic tac toe console and you're having trouble displaying it as a grid?
if so, this is one way to simulate the board (some of the code is just for display in this example)
import java.io.*;
class TicTacToeConsole
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String[] board = new String[9];
public TicTacToeConsole()
for(int x = 0; x < board.length; x++) board[x] = " _ ";
try{playGame();}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
public void playGame() throws IOException
System.out.println("Board at game start");
printBoard();
System.out.println("\nPlease select an available number to put your X");
printAvailableSquares();
int playerMove = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine()) -1;
board[playerMove] = " X ";
System.out.println("\nBoard after first move");
printBoard();
System.out.println("\nAvailable moves after first move");
printAvailableSquares();
public void printBoard()
System.out.println();
for(int x = 0; x < board.length; x++)
System.out.print(board[x]);
if(x%3 == 2) System.out.println("\n");
public void printAvailableSquares()
System.out.println();
for(int x = 0; x < board.length; x++)
if(board[x].equals(" _ ")) System.out.print(" " + (x+1) + " ");
else System.out.print(" ");
if(x%3 == 2) System.out.println("\n");
public static void main(String[] args){new TicTacToeConsole();}

Test out this Tic Tac Toe game please
I know this is suppose to be a real java forum, but this is stripped down version of java, but it's still java. Before using real java I used this Judo. So can you guys download the stuff and play it a few times. Give me any suggestions or bug reports. This is v. 1.0 and there isn't a winner decider yet. Thanks and hope you have fun!
You will need to download JUDO
http://judo.sourceforge.net/#download
Open JUDO and paste this code into it and run.

Need some help with Tic Tac Toe game
hey. hope u guys can help me out...
having a problem with my tic tac toe program...
i have 2 problems.
1) got the "X" and "O" to appear using a flag(teacher didn't explain)
using code like this
if (jb == button[0]){
if (flag==0)
button[0].setText("X");
else
button[0].setText("O");
//toggle
flag = (flag==0)?1:0;
my problem is how do i get it to stop.(For example button[1] is selected as "X"..how do i stop it from albe to switch to "O")
2) found this code in javascript online and i want to do what it does in java code
if(button[0] == " X " && button[1] == " X " && button[2] == " X ")
alert("You Win!");
reset();
how would i do that?
thanks for the help.ok here's my code:

Need help/advice with tic tac toe game
Hello all. I am working on a tic tac toe game. I was able to program the first 4 moves fine, but ame having trouble with moves 5 and 6 for reasons that are unknown to me. Everything complies fine, its just that the move is displayed int the wrong space (B1) instead of in B2 or B3. Also the move that is supposed to be in A1 disapppears when B2 or B3 is clicked. Also, I need advice as to how to keep the prior moves from being over written.
At this point I ahve gone over the code on-screen, printed it out, and stared at my drawings... and I'm not having any luck. I'm sure its a small, stupid thing that I'm missing, that anyone else would easily catch. Once again, thx for all your help.

//<applet code = "game3.class" height =300 width=300> </applet>writing a tic-tac-toe is harder than it sounds.. i wrote one last year in my computer science class.. i have it on my website, if you want to look at code. i wrote it in c++, but the logic is all that matters :)
btw-last year, i wasnt too good of an OOP programmer, so the program is procedurely written. heres the url:
http://www.angelfire.com/blues/smb
also, to tell if a box is already taken, you can just add an if statement: if ( gameBoard[selX][selY] == null ) //not taken, fill box:many people resort to a boolean matrix of the same idea, but with booleans that store which boxes are taken. i prefer the way above, saves code, memory, and makes it more understandable.
hope it helps. -

Does anyone know of an open-source implementation of Tic-Tac-Toe using Graphs? I'm reading through Michael Mann's Data Structures and Other Objects Using Java book and in chapter 14, he briefly mentions the use of directed graphs in implementing a game of Tic Tac Toe. I'm interested in seeing how one would implement something of this sort (and no, it's not a homework assignment).
If someone would be kind enough as to post a link to a site that offers mini-java applications, along with code that novice developers such as myself can traverse, please do so.
Thanks in advance.As an added though, there's really no need to for each node to keep track of incoming connections, only outgoing ones. What I, personally would do is keep an array of 8 outgoing connections, one for each direction. If no connection was there, then that element in the array would be null. If a connection was there, then that element would be an edge connecting to another node, or the other node itself (depending on whether or not you explicitly implemented 'edges' in your graph).
That way, you could do something like:
Node s = getOneOfTheEdgeNodes();
boolean hasWinner = false;
try {
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i ++) {
if (s.getOutgoing(i).getNode().getOutgoing(i).getNode() != null) {
hasWinner = true;
break;
} catch (NullPointerException npx) {
// No winner.
if (hasWinner)
System.out.println(s.getPlayer() + " has won");Yeah, that's a shitty example, but hopefully you get my drift.

I have finished my entire game excpet for who wins. Anyone have some insight on how to do this?
private boolean isRow(char arr[][],char s)
for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
if (arr[0]==arr[i][1] && arr[i][1]==arr[i][2])
if (arr[i][0]==s)
return true;
if the condition if (arr[0]==arr[i][1] && arr[i][1]==arr[i][2]) was false so return true; won't work, and so the method is left without a return value.
you can solve the problem by modifying this code to this:
private boolean isRow(char arr[][],char s)
for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
if (arr[0]==arr[i][1] && arr[i][1]==arr[i][2])
if (arr[i][0]==s)
return true;
return false; -
Hit there!!
Does anyone know where can I find exaples of applications whith that game?
I've seen them somewhere that I cannot remember.
Thanks in advance

game ?please help me out to write the remaining?That question is almost impossible to answer because you didn't provide two vital pieces of information.
1) What specific problems you're having.
2) Relevant code.
iam unable to attach the code now;So, you call the doctor on the phone, say, "I'm not feeling well. Please make me better. I can't come to your office or tell you anything about what's wrong with me now." -
Help in swing app. tic tac toe
Trying to make this tic tac toe game. Need a little help. I want the newGameBUT to start the game over, and I would like turnTF to display if a tie occurs. (I tried using *if button.enabled(false) {* but it didn't work. If anyone could help me out, that'd be great. Oh, also, the new game button currently add's 1 to whoever won so far, which is really weird =x. Thanks beforehand.

Tic tac toe 3x3 multiplayer game
How can i build a tic tac toe game in labview
What im interested in is the following
1) A 3x3 multiplayer game
2) A boolean to move left in the tictactoe grid and another to move down
3) A boolean array to display the grid an another string array to show the X and O's
4) A boolean to confirm player's choice
5) A way to choose whether player 1 or player 2 begins
6) A way to show which player wins or loses, or if it is a draw.
Thank You in Advance
I appreciate your helpSome of your classmates with the same assignment already asked this quesiton. Why don't you do a quick search before starting a new thread?

Hi, I have been trying to create a simple Tic Tac Toe game using Java. I'm currently having problems as to how to create the board using arrays (sorry I don't understand them very well). All I have so far is this,
public class ticTacToe {
private int [] [] theBoard = new int [3] [3];
// *'N' is no winner
// 'X' is X won
// 'O' is O won
// 'C' is a cat's game
public static char didSomeoneWin(int [] [] currentBoard)
int winForX = 8000, winForO = 1, checkIfItsAcatsGame = 1, product;
char winner = 'N';
for(int column = 0; column < 3; column++) // Check the columns
product = currentBoard [0] [column] * currentBoard [1] [column] * currentBoard [2] [column];
if(product == winForX) winner = 'X';
if(product == winForO) winner = 'O';
for(int row = 0; row < 3; row++) // Check the rows
product = currentBoard [row] [0] * currentBoard [row] [1] * currentBoard [row] [2];
if(product == winForX) winner = 'X';
if(product == winForO) winner = 'O';
product = currentBoard [0] [0] * currentBoard [1] [1] * currentBoard [2] [2]; // Check one diagonal
if(product == winForX) winner = 'X';
if(product == winForO) winner = 'O';
product = currentBoard [0] [2] * currentBoard [1] [1] * currentBoard [2] [0]; // Check the other diagonal
if(product == winForX) winner = 'X';
if(product == winForO) winner = 'O';
if(winner == 'N') // If nobody's won, Check for a cat's game
for(int row = 0; row < 3; row++)
for(int column = 0; column < 3; column++)
checkIfItsAcatsGame *=currentBoard [row] [column];
if(checkIfItsAcatsGame != 0) winner = 'C'; // any empty space is a zero. So product is zero if there is space left.
return winner;
public void markX(int row, int column)
myBoard [row] [column] = 20;
public void markO(int row, int column)
myBoard [row] [column] = 1;
That is all so far, could someone help me print out the board? And help me out on the arrays? I don't think they are quite right. Thanks in Advance!

matthews1.7.2.0Hi,
Do you need a GUI ?
If yes see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/index.html
You can also see this : http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-Printing.html about printing.

Im making a tic tac toe game and everything works fine until you try to click the third set of blocks in order to put your X or Y in it. The program does nothing, it even seems as if the mouseDown function isnt working.......can someone help (Code below)
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class TicTacToe extends Applet {
int test = 0;
int test1 = 0;
int score;
int temp;
char square[][];
protected int turn;
final int width = 117;
boolean TurnP1;
boolean TurnP2;
public void init() {
square = new char[3][3];
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
square[i][j] = 0;
score = 0;
turn = 0;
temp = 0;
TurnP1 = false;
TurnP2 = false;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setColor(Color.black);
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) g2.fillRect(i * width / 3, j * width / 3, 35, 35);
drawXandO(g2);
g2.drawString(Integer.toString(test) + " " + Integer.toString(test1), 130, 50);
public void drawXandO(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.red);
Font myFont = new Font("Impact", Font.PLAIN, 20);
g.setFont(myFont);
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
if (square[i][j] != 0) {
g.drawString(" " + square[i][j] + " ", i * width / 3 + 10, j * width / 3 - 5);
public boolean mouseDown(java.awt.Event e, int x, int y) {
int column = (int)(x / (width / 3));
int row = (int)(y / (width / 3)+1);
test = column;
test1 = row;
turn++;
if (square[column][row] != 0) {
play(getCodeBase(), "beep.wav");
if (TurnP2) {
turn = 4;
} else {
turn = 3;
return true;
if (turn % 2 == 0) {
//Its Player 2 turn
TurnP1 = false;
TurnP2 = true;
square[column][row] = 'O';
} else {
//Its Player 1 turn
TurnP1 = true;
TurnP2 = false;
square[column][row] = 'X';
repaint();
return true;the method you use should not be overridden without a call to the ancestor like:
public boolean mouseDown(Event e,int x,int y){
super.mouseDown(e,x,y);
//your code here
}it is more safe.but anyway the best thing to do what you want is to use:
public MyApplet extends Applet implements MouseListener {
public init(){
addMouseListener(this);
//methods mouseReleased,...
public void mouseDown(MouseEvent e){
