Right, so this is a school project and we are suppose to make a grid game.
I chose to make "Gomoku" which is like connect five.
So this is the only problem i have with the game that i can't figure out (its a big one);
There is 8 directions the stones/pieces can connect; up, down, left, right, and the four diagonals.
if i place a stone from left to right, top to bottom, left-down diagonal,or right-down diagonal, it only takes 3 stones to register as a "connect 5" instead of the 5 it's suppose to be. The other four directions work fine with no bugs.
the way i set up the world is using a int array
i have 3 states for a point
BLANK_
BLACK_
WHITE_
the way i check the stones is using this code here (I triple checked the code for all of the directions before i posted the problem here so it's probably not a +/- mistake i made)
EDIT: finally figured out how to post the code in a readable manner xD
the important stuff starts from line 68
