Super Tic-Tac-Toe

Refer to this page for today's assignment.

Your assignment today is to redesign this tic-tac-toe game from a 3x3 grid, to a 4x4 grid.

You need to make sure that your game resets if a player wins or there are no empty squares.

Make sure that you download the necessary image files.

For extra credit, add sound effects for placing x's & o's, and for winning.

All other gameplay should be left intact or enhanced.

Upload your main.cpp file when you're done, use "Super Tic-Tac-Toe" in the description field.

Tuesday - Allegro

You’re assignment today is to begin reading and working through these Allegro C++ tutorials:
You can access each tutorial by using the menu in the upper left hand corner; under "Allegro Lessons". 

When you begin an Allegro Project, after you start a new project, and add a piece of source code, you must link the allegro library.
To do this, you must go to the menu bar and click "Project", "... Properties", then add "alleg.lib" to the "Additional Dependancies" field under "Input" under "Linker" under "Configuration Properties". Check out the following screenshot.
 

For each section, you must upload your main.cpp file; make sure that you include the tutorial section (Allegro Basics, I/O, Drawing Primitives, Drawing Graphics From Files, Animation, Backgrounds, Mouse, Animation II) in the description field when you upload. I expect you to actually READ these. 

Be prepared to answer questions about Allegro tomorrow. I expect you to get all of these read, compiled, and uploaded.
