@pyroMar 31.2003 — #You told us absolutly nothing except that you code doesn't work. We will need either a link or some code to be able to give you any help... :rolleyes:

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #this is my disastrous code... well actually, i changed the coding of 2 orignal versions of this game, so that i could try out something with the alphabet... but so far, i cant even get this one with numbers to work!

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #everyone who keeps viewing this page but not posting... help me please!

@pyroMar 31.2003 — #I didn't look at the script for long enough to check what it is suppose to be doing, but I did check my browser for error messages, and here are some things you need to chage:

[color=darkred]Line 354:[/color] You have an extra [color=darkblue]}[/color]

[color=darkred]Line 378-386:[/color] You have [color=darkblue]document.images.1.src= redB;[/color]

...

when the correct syntax is [color=darkblue]document.images[1].src= redB;[/color]

...

Also, arrays start with 0, rather than 1.

[color=darkred]Line 354:[/color] You have an extra [color=darkblue]}[/color]

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #see it works right, but its not doing anything, when i click a box, it just takes me to a blank white page. its supposed to be a game of noughts and crosses, so when you press one red square, a nought should come up, and the computers cross comes up, thats whats supposed to be happeneing, and although there are no error messages right now, it doesnt actually do what its supposed to do...what can i do?

@cyberadeMar 31.2003 — #All of the 'href's reference "box['n']" but you don't have a function called "box".

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #when i change the href's to 'hit' which is what i just realised my functions were... it still brings me to a white screen when i click one of the boxes.. i'm stuck ?

@pyroMar 31.2003 — #[i]Originally posted by lauren [/i]

[B]...and although there are no error messages right now...[/B][/QUOTE]There were for me...

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #so what shall i doooooo?

i just want it to work as a proper game ?

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #pyro, i made the changes that you suggested. and did other stuff that i thought would help it to work...

but still when i click a box, it brings me to a white page... what is supposed to happen when i click a box, is that it is supposed to bring up a nought or cross in a different colour....

@pyroMar 31.2003 — #A couple more things you can try...

Chage [color=darkblue]<a href="box('1')">

<a href="box('2')">

...[/color]

to [color=darkblue]<a href="#" onClick="hit1(); return false;">

<a href="#" onClick="hit2(); return false;">

...[/color]

Also, you don't have any function circles() which you are calling in each hitx() function.

@AdamBrillMar 31.2003 — #Try the attached code and see if that works. If it still doesn't work right, could you attach the graphics? It definately doesn't work right without those. ?

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #pyro... when i change it to false... i get a new error message saying "object doesnt support this property or method"......

?

@AdamBrillMar 31.2003 — #What kind of game is this?? It doesn't do anything. For one thing, you don't have the circle function in there... Do you have that?

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #i know it doesnt do anything... thats the problem...

u can see an example of what is supposed to happen here...

@AdamBrillMar 31.2003 — #What are you trying to modify? Or are you just trying to get that to work?

@laurenauthorMar 31.2003 — #I'm just tryna get it to work.. I don't know if i have missed out coding which is why it won't work...

@AdamBrillApr 01.2003 — #Try this code. Just extract it and run the index.htm. I hope that helps. ?

[upl-file uuid=343e1cf0-a96e-443a-9386-8887b899f141 size=18kB]tic-tac-toe.zip[/upl-file]

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #thank you. that does work, because its the original game. that does mean my code is a lost course?

@AdamBrillApr 01.2003 — #Well, your code was kind of messed up. ? Did you want to modify the original? If so, I can help you do whatever it is you wanted to do... ?

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #lol @ my messed up code!

but modifying the original so it isn't exactly the same would be great!

@AdamBrillApr 01.2003 — #Well.... What do you want me to modify? Or should I just do some random modifications? ? What do you want the game for?

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #*thinks* ermmm.. random modifications would be good!

i just want it so that the code doesn't look exactly the same as the original! which is where my funny looking code came into it, and it went all pear shaped! lol the game is part of my learning package for children, and i would get a slap on the wrist from my teacher if he knew i copied the code word for word from the internet, hence that mess i made ?. lol

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #oh and also, the images i want to use are already in this forum on this page. its redB which is blank, bluO which is blue with a green 0 in, and gre1 which is green with a blue 1 inside, or it might be the other way round.. not too sure ?

@AdamBrillApr 01.2003 — #[i]Originally posted by lauren[/i]

[b]lol the game is part of my learning package for children, and i would get a slap on the wrist from my teacher if he knew i copied the code word for word from the internet, hence that mess i made .[/b][/quote]You have a teacher that is teaching you how to make a learning package for children??? That sounds a little weird... ? Anyway, do you think your teacher would think it is better if someone on a forums modified the code for you??

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #no...my teacher isn't teaching me how to do the package... i am :s

and no he wouldnt think it was better if someone modifyed the code for me... which is why i tried to code it myself.. but it didnt work ?

i feel like i'm being reprimanded ?

@AdamBrillApr 01.2003 — #[i]Originally posted by lauren[/i]

[b]i feel like i'm being reprimanded[/b][/quote]That would be about right. ? I think you should take that working copy that I gave you and try to modify it. Then, if you have any problems, you can ask me... Don't modify the whole thing right away; just modify it a little and try it. Repeat as necessary. ?

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #*sighs*

ok

?

@AdamBrillApr 01.2003 — #lol ? I don't want to get in trouble with your teacher... ?

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #you won't!

its just that i have tried doing the code myself, and it won't work. the one on that website is wayyyyy to confusing for me to try and understand to the point of re-writing... hence my lil mess up i suppose

?

@AdamBrillApr 01.2003 — #Maybe I should rephrase... I don't want to get [i]you[/i] in trouble with your teacher. ? Anyway, I said I would help, I just won't do the whole thing. You aren't going to learn very much if I do it... ?

@laurenauthorApr 01.2003 — #*cries*

but i've tried & it doesnt work

?

@AdamBrillApr 02.2003 — #Why don't you talk to your teacher? Maybe he can help you... Or you could ask him if I can help you...

@laurenauthorApr 02.2003 — #lol, my teacher doesn't know anything about programmin! He deals with all those funny looking gadgets inside the baseunit. I'm sure he would not mind if you helped me........

@AdamBrillApr 02.2003 — #Ok, fine. But if you get in trouble, don't blame it on me. ? I was looking at your code again and noticed that you didn't include any of the AI part. Are you going to make it two player? Either way, I corrected your code so it will work now. Look at how I did it... I used WAY fewer lines. Anyway, it only has the O right now, so you can try to add the X and see what happens. Let me know if you have any problems... :p

@laurenauthorApr 02.2003 — #thank you very much ?..

i can see that it works, because the pop up message appears, but my images don't show up, do you know why that is? i put in my website as to where the images are displayed... by the red boxes don't show up :s

@AdamBrillApr 02.2003 — #Ok, try this code...

[upl-file uuid=7a3d558d-5ed3-41fb-9889-52c2364591f1 size=5kB]game.txt[/upl-file]

@laurenauthorApr 02.2003 — #yes that works, you're a star ?, so all i have to do now is to throw in the coding to get the green box to come up?

@AdamBrillApr 02.2003 — #[i]Originally posted by lauren [/i]

[B]so all i have to do now is to throw in the coding to get the green box to come up? [/B][/QUOTE] If it were only that easy... ? ?

@laurenauthorApr 03.2003 — #if only it was that easy?!?!?!

what does that mean?!?!?!

@AdamBrillApr 03.2003 — #That means that it is never as easy as "throwing in some code and it working." ? Actually, I was kidding... ?

@laurenauthorApr 05.2003 — #I give up...

*sighs*

But thank you anyway.
