tic tac toe java program error
Hi
I have a simple java program that simulates 2 players playing tic tac toe.
the error I get is: when run the program reads the first entry and print the grid and then stops. it does not take any other entries. can't find the error. Help is much appreciated.
// This program reads will allow two players to play a TicTacToe on a grid 3x3 by choosing a single number a time. // each player is allowed one entry at a time. import java.util.Scanner; public class ticTacToe { private static char [][] grid = {{'1','2','3'},{'4','5','6'},{'7','8','9'}}; public static void main ( String args[] ) { boolean winner = false; boolean p1 = true; int row = 0; int col = 0; intro(); printGrid(); do { int[] location = getInput(); row = location[0]; col = location[1]; placeMarker(p1, row, col); printGrid(); p1 = !p1; } while ( checkWin() == false || boardFull() != false ); } public static void intro() { System.out.println ( "\nWelcome to ticTacToe v1.0!\n\nThis program simulates 2 players playing on a 3x3 grid.
