Tic-tac-toe game behaving oddly

[Uninverted]

I'm trying to make a tic-tac-toe game. Just about everything else works ok, except a little function I wrote to write the board. Does anyone see a problem with this?

void printboard() 
{
char tl, tm, tr, ml, mm, mr, bl, bm, br = 16;
cout << "_","_|_","_|_","_\n";
cout << "_","_|_","_|_","_\n";
cout << " "," | "," | "," \n";
}

When you're creating a thread, watch out not to double-post. I just deleted the other thread.

Try not to "split" the string up using the comma-operator. Use the bitwise shift left-operator instead. Furthermore, instead of \n's, you can use endls.

void printboard()
{
    char tl, tm, tr, ml, mm, mr, bl, bm, br = 16;
    cout << "_" << "_|_" << "_|_" << "_" << endl;
    cout << "_" << "_|_" << "_|_" << endl;
    cout << " " << " | " << " | " << endl;
}

Why are you creating all those local variables? You're not even using them. Another thing; you don't have to split it with the bitwise shift left-operator, you can simply just remove them, and have a whole string, instead of lots of small ones.

It's a long story about the variables.

Thanks for the help. I'm honestly not that familiar with C++, but it's the only compiled language I know, and I needed an executable.

Hehe, okay.

I hope you solved your problem.
