Homework Statement
When I try and play it, it says that the Index out of range system was unhandled. I am pretty sure it is the j loop. Please help. In the game Connect 4, you can win diagonally, the grid is 6 squares down and 7 across. (5 positions down, 6 positions across including 0.)
Homework Equations
privateBoolean diagonalWinnerUp()//The name of the loop
{
Boolean winner = false;//The winner is set to false
{
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)//nested for loop. i starts at zero, it is incremented until it reaches 7
{
for (int j = 5; j < 8; j++)//j starts at 5. it will continue 8 times so that when 3 is subtracted from j(5) it can equal five.
{
if (board[j,i] == 1 && board[j - 1, i + 1] == 1 && board[j - 2, i + 2] == 1 && board[j - 3, i + 3] == 1 || board[j,i] == 2 && board[j - 1, i + 1] == 2 && board[j - 2, i + 2] == 2 && board[j - 3, i + 3] == 2)//Upward diagonal winner check
{
winner = true;
if (board[j, i] == 1)
{
player1_wins = 1;
}
else
{
player2_wins = 2;
}
}
}
