Win conditions for a connect-4 like game
- by FrozenWasteland
I have an 5x10 array that is populated with random values 1-5. I want to be able to check when 3 numbers, either horizontally, or vertically, match. I can't figure out a way to do this without writing a ton of if statements.
Here is the code for the randomly populated array
int i;
int rowincrement = 10;
int row = 0;
int col = 5;
int board[10][5];
int randomnum = 5;
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
srand(time(NULL));
cout << "============\n";
while(row < rowincrement)
{
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
board[row][col] = rand()%5 + 1;
cout << board[row][col] << " ";
}
cout << endl;
cout << "============\n";
row++;
}
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
