Using ASCII...

[putrify]

I'm making a tictactoe program, but the board has to be printed out using ASCII...but well it needs to be a 3x3 array so the player can choose the row and column to place their marker...I had already printed out a board but then I thought, how am I gonna access it? And now I'm stumped..

how am I gonna access it?

Can you explain what your problem is?

Well first I have to print out the game board, as shown above, and then prompt the player to choose row and column of where they want to place their marker. I know I need to make a new array, but how is the marker gonna show up on the board if I made it using ascii?....if that makes sense :S

how is the marker gonna show up on the board if I made it using ascii

What do you mean by "using ascii"? Do you have other character choices for the output?

I assume you are printing on the console using System.out.print or println().
The 3x3 board is made up of many prints line by line. To show an X or O on the board, you will need to print the X or O instead of the space you are currently printing.

You will need to print the entire board after each move.
