java anyone?

[[eVo]PvtBenny]

Well i asked in a conversation with my coach/mentor at school and im getting a bit of java as well. Oh joy... lol

[[eVo]PvtBenny]

Srrry for the double post.

But does anyone have a good website with all kinds of info on java like tutorials and such. I kinda want to get a headstart at java before we get it at school so i know what they are actually talking about.

im thinking w3schools.org is good ? I learned pretty much everything i know now about html5 and css3 there.

I can "code" pawn

[EnzoMortelli]

If you can do pawn, you also can do C.
If you can do C, you'd also have no great problems doing java.

With C you mean C++ ?

No C and C++ , are both differnt programming C++ > C

Hey guys im back with a question, im making a tic tac toe game in java eclipse. The game is based on using an array so its 2d and it jusy takes the users x and y coordinate to play a X were they want and they try to beat a dumb cpu. Anyways for those using java or who wanwt to help, i was wondering how i would go upon checking the winner for the game? I tried using if statements and for loops but i couldnt get how to specifically get it working. I currently have everything working except the win check.

if you need my code ill post here. Thank please reply or leave a comment

beat a dumb cpu.

a PLC u mean ? (those are dumb CPU's just FYI)

its just a stupid ai lol

Well, winning tic tac toe is (obviously) a matter of getting 3 stones in either one vertical, horizontal or diagonal line, right? Supposing the tic tac toe field is 3x3 there should be exactly 8 possible ways of achieving this, 3 vertical, 3 horizontal, 2 diagonal. For the sake of simplicity and through sacrificing some efficiency you could simply save those 8 combinations, and compare it with the player's draws. If the pattern the player klicked contains such a row, he wins. Same for ai. If none, no-one wins.

Would be my first idea so far, haven't played it in a while yet, might think about something more later.

how do you read the color of the one field?

if you know that then its a piece of cake because you can simply write all possible winning combinations down stupidly. as enzo said those are only 8 different ways to win.

like this, considering that the colors are black and white and that the fields are named like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

*IF*
Field 1 = white
and
Field 2 = white
and
Field 3 = white

*OR*
Field 4 = white
and
Field 5 = white
and
Field 6 = white

*OR*
Field 7 = white
and
Field 8 = white
and
Field 9 = white

*OR*
Field 1 = white
and
Field 4 = white
and
Field 7 = white

*OR*
Field 2 = white
and
Field 5 = white
and
Field 8 = white

*OR*
Field 3 = white
and
Field 6 = white
and
Field 9 = white

*OR*
Field 1 = white
and
Field 5 = white
and
Field 9 = white

*OR*
Field 3 = white
and
Field 5 = white
and
Field 7 = white

*THEN*
White wins

unfortunatly i have no idea how your program works so all i can provide is this pseudo code. of course the above code is simplified to the max.

I obviously need to do some research before i dive into the world of java head first
