I'm not about to debug the whole thing...but I'll tell you a few things that cought my eye first.  look in your DisplayBoard(const vector<string>& board).  You are missing the  <<  marks towards the end of 3 of the statements.Line 151..you put    if(winner(board) == computer)    when you never even made a   computer   variable.you are trying to convert things that cannot be converted such as Line 149board[move] = Computerturn;  you forgot lots of   ;   such as Line 159.on Line 200 you are trying to define a 1D array as a 2D array.  int WinningMoves[]should be changed to int WinningMoves[][]you also try to return arrays of something when the function is a char function...such as your    winner(const vector<string>& board)    function.Theres loads more...but I'll leave it up to you to find the rest :)  Just know you are trying to do a lot of illegal conversions.  lol this will probably not be fun for you.  good luck!;  Ok, well at my AllMoves vector, what could POSSIBLY be the problem, I'm just pushing back numbers...   ;  Ok, I've knocked a few errors out, but now on line 160, its saying that Computerturn wasn't defined in this scope...COMPUTERTURN IS WHAT I'M PASSING TO THE FUNCTION!  HOW CAN IT NOT BE IN THE FUNCTION'S SCOPE?!?!  :]   ;  correct me if I'm wrong...but Allmoves is not an object of anything.  What you are doing is trying to call something from an object named Allmoves, which does not exist.   ;  ::Confusion::AllMoves is my vector of ints, I'm simply trying to push back the numbers 1-8 into the vector's containers.   ;  woops sorry bout that..  I havn't really used vectors in the way you are using them quite that much.  In fact, your whole project looks too over complicated.  Not trying to be rude or anything..I just think a lot of the things you did, could have been done in a much more simple way.  With that in mind...it's kind of hard to debug somebody elses code, because you aren't familiar with the intentions that the coder had.  Basically..the person who made the code is the best person to debug the code.  Just keep playing with things going wrong and eventually the answer will hit you.  Sometimes..all it takes is a little trial and error.  best of luck!   ;Quote:Original post by BenDrummin58woops sorry bout that..

Sometimes..all it takes is a little trial and error.  best of luck!I understand, a lot of it is probably becuase it is broken up into so many functions, and includes AI.  push_back just adds whatever is in the arguments to the vector's contaniners (I bet you already knew that, oh well).  I'm just perplexed at why I'm getting the error, it seems fine to me.
