Phil, please don't push for more until you've worked through the help you've gotten so far.

ok tom I am working on the problem. when I get it worked out can I post more?

I can't make it any easier for you than spelling it out, Phil. It's only a couple of lines.

@phil67rpg do you know how to work with textures in OpenGL? You can draw images in Paint. I use GIMP.

I created this texture atlas in GIMP:

I use texture coordinated to draw selected item:

            GL.Begin(PrimitiveType.Triangles);
            {
                // Left top triangle
                GL.TexCoord2(0f, 0f); GL.Vertex2(0f, 0f);
                GL.TexCoord2(0f, 0.33f); GL.Vertex2(0f, 64f);
                GL.TexCoord2(0.33f, 0f); GL.Vertex2(64f, 0f);
                // Right bottom triangle
                GL.TexCoord2(0f, 0.33f); GL.Vertex2(0f, 64f);
                GL.TexCoord2(0.33f, 0.33f); GL.Vertex2(64f, 64f);
                GL.TexCoord2(0.33f, 0f); GL.Vertex2(64f, 0f);
            }
            GL.End();

well I am working on it sorry I am kind of slow. well I got the x's to be drawn now I have to get the computer to draw the o's thanks for all the help when I get this done I will repost my code.

I am working on the AI for this game, I just have to get the computer O's to not draw over the themselves. here is my code so far.

#include <freeglut.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

char board[9];
int index;

void drawBoard()

I have not made the AI for the game but I will try. At first I want to make a network version for two players using TCP sockets.

Source code: https://github.com/8Observer8/TicTacToe_OpenTkOpenGL11CSharp

I draw a game field from 2D character array:

        private char[,] _gameField = new char[,]
        {
            { ' ', 'x', ' ' },
            { ' ', 'x', ' ' },
            { '0', ' ', ' ' }
        };

 well I have finished reading the opengl superbible

What version of the book do you have?
