I am a relatively new to coding and new to stackoverflow. I am creating a game of gomoku, where need to get five pieces in a row to win the game. I have initialized the board, 2d array, all to zero at beginning. The board size is based from an input file. I have created two algorithms the first one being random, and the second is meant to place a piece, one block away from its previous move. The second is meant to be the "smarter" algorithm. I have also printed the array and couted a lot of "tests" / "moves"to see which path is being taken. For some reason the second algorithm seems to not to be placing pieces the whole time, as therefore leads to zeroes appearing when the maximum number of turns is played to fill the board. I have also used a class. I am also aware that I will need to eventually make my functions in the class private not public in the end.
Here is the code of the input

Here is the int main
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "game.h"
#include <iomanip>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string inputSize = "input.txt";
int size =0;
srand(time(0));
int arr[15][15];
game Gomuko;
size = Gomuko.getSize(inputSize, arr);
Gomuko.initZero(arr, size);
Gomuko.switchPlayers(arr, size);
Gomuko.printArr(arr,size);
return 0;
}
