[C++] Tic-Tac-Toe

I'm probably not doing this the best way possible. The code, to me, looks incredibly ugly and needs some optimization, but this is why I'm in the For Beginners section :-). Now, to move on past that... the issue I'm experiencing is weird. When I make my move, it will flash "Invalid move!" on the screen prompt; however, this doesn't display for more than half a second before a clearing of the screen takes place. This brings me to believe that my if-statement in the /* Program name: TicTacToe * Program author: Cameron Smith * Last updated: 6/2/2011 * Description: This is just a Tic-Tac-Toe clone created solely for educational purposes. It will follow the standard Tic-Tac-Toe rules . */ #include <iostream> #include <string> void drawGameBoard(char* gameBoard[3][3]); // function prototype void checkMove(char* gameBoard[3][3], int playerInput, int playerTurn); // another function prototype bool checkForWin(char* gameBoard[3][3]); int main() { // Introduction std::cout << "Welcome to Tic-Tac-Toe" << std::endl; std::cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << std::endl; // Check for ENTER, then clear screen after pressing the key. std::cin.get(); system("cls"); char* gameBoard[3][3]; // The gameboard AMAGASH int playerInput = 0; // Used in the game loop to validate movement. int playerTurn = 1; // Used to determine to place an X or an O. gameBoard[0][0] = "1"; // top-left gameBoard[0][1] = "2"; // top-middle gameBoard[0][2] = "3"; // top-right gameBoard[1][0] = "4"; // middle-left gameBoard[1][1] = "5"; // middle-middle gameBoard[1][2] = "6"; // middle-right gameBoard[2][0] = "7"; // bottom-left gameBoard[2][1] = "8"; // bottom-middle gameBoard[2][2] = "9"; // bottom-right bool gameOver = false; while(gameOver != true) // The game loop :-). YAY! { drawGameBoard(gameBoard); std::cout << std::endl; std::cout << "Player " << playerTurn << ": Which spot would you like to take?
