Need help making a check statement to make sure al the controls are not blank
- by Michael Quiles
This is for a tic tac toe game. I need help making a check statement to see if all the controls' Texts are non-blank, and if they are, you have a draw (if someone had won the previous code would have discovered that). Can you give me a good example using my code.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
namespace MyGame
{
public class Result1
{
static private int[,] Winners = new int[,]
{
// main gameplay Ex: if x is on 0,1,2 x is the winner
{0,1,2},
{3,4,5},
{6,7,8},
{0,3,6},
{1,4,7},
{2,5,8},
{0,4,8},
{2,4,6},
};
static public bool CheckWinner(Button[] myControls)
{
//bolean statement to check for the winner
bool gameOver = false;
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
int a = Winners[i, 0];
int b = Winners[i, 1];
int c = Winners[i, 2];
Button b1 = myControls[a], b2 = myControls[b], b3 = myControls[c];
if (b1.Text == "" || b2.Text == "" || b3.Text == "")
continue;
if (b1.Text == b2.Text && b2.Text == b3.Text)
{
b1.BackColor = b2.BackColor = b3.BackColor = Color.LightCoral;
b1.Font = b2.Font = b3.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 32F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Italic & System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((System.Byte)(0)));
gameOver = true;
xWinnerForm xWinnerForm = new xWinnerForm();
xWinnerForm.ShowDialog(); //only works with show not showDialog method gets overloaded (b1.Text + " is the Winner"); to get around this I added and image showing the last player
}
}
return gameOver;
}
}
}
