It wouldnt compile, whats it do?

[parksie]

It prints a sort of noughts-and-crosses board.

[CyberCarsten]

Won't compile under VC++ 6. How does it work, and how did you compile it???

[parksie]

Put it in a .c rather than .cpp file, and add #include <stdio.h> at the top.

IT IS A COMPLETE WORKING PROGRAM WRITTEN IN ANSI-C
THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS A DECENT GAME OF OTHELLO!

THE COMPUTER IS PLAYING 'X'; YOU ARE 'O'.

CELLS ARE IDENTIFIED BY ROW LETTER FOLLOWED BY COLUMN NUMBER:
F4
IS AN ACCEPTABLE FIRST MOVE FOR 'O', FOR EXAMPLE. ENTER YOUR MOVE,
FOLLOWED BY "ENTER"; THE COMPUTER WILL MAKE ITS MOVE AND PRINT THE
RESULTING NEW BOARD.

SAVE THE PROGRAM IN A FILE WITH A .c EXTENSION AND
COMPILE THE PROGRAM AS USUAL AND RUN IT!

[Active]

add #include <stdio.h> at the top

I used Bloodshed Dev-C++ v2.0, and it compiled it
without the preamble.

[parksie]

Whatever Obviously ANSI think different...it didn't work when I compiled it, for the reason that you can't use printf without a prototype
