TIC TAC TOE in Assembly Language

827 views Asked by At

I am trying to make TIC TAC TOE in Assembly Language. I'm having trouble in using cmp. I want that when the user chooses 1 it should jump to the label one and then on screen replace only the character '1' with 'X' but it is replacing all the nine numbers with 'X'.
Here's my code:

.686 
.MODEL flat, stdcall
.STACK
INCLUDE Irvine32.inc

.data
tic BYTE "TIC TAC TOE GAME"
player BYTE "PLAYER 1 (X) : PLAYER 2 (O)"
myarray1 BYTE '1' , ' ' , '|' , ' ' , '2' , ' ' , '|' ,' ' ,'3'
myarray2 BYTE '4' , ' ' , '|' , ' ' , '5' , ' ' , '|' ,' ' ,'6'
myarray3 BYTE '7',  ' ' , '|' , ' ' , '8' , ' ' , '|' ,' ' ,'9'
position BYTE "Select You Position: ",0
choise BYTE 'X','O'
turn BYTE 0
info byte ?

.code 
main PROC
mov bl,turn
mov ecx,9

mov ecx,9
L13:
call clrscr
call BOARD
call GAME
loop L13

This main loop will fail since the call to BOARD will modify the loop control variable in ECX. You need to preserve it.

mov ecx,9
L13:
push ecx         <<<<<<
call clrscr
call BOARD
call GAME
pop ecx          <<<<<<
loop L13

In the GAME procedure, you need to avoid that all the cases fall through in each other.

    ...
    cmp al,9
    je nine
    RET                  <<<<<< What if choice was invalid ?
one:
    mov al,choise
    xchg al,[myarray1]
    RET                  <<<<<<
two:
    mov al,choise
    xchg al,[myarray1+4]
    RET                  <<<<<<
    ...

loop L13



BOARD proc

Between these instructions you're missing a proper program exit or else you'd better write the ellipses (...) so we can know there's more code here that you didn't feel the need to include.

loop L13

...

BOARD proc

call readint
mov al,info

Usually readint would give a result in EAX. You then could make a copy of it, but that would mean writing mov info, al, the opposite of what you've written! Remember the destination is on the left side, the source is on the right side.
