I took some time today to finaly write my first actual program in c

The game is very basic, all you have to do is sort characters in a 4x4 grid/array.
I think I abused "printf()" a bit, there's no graphics and the codes could be a bit better but I atleast got it to function correctly...

just posting the code for now though

Spoiler

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int control=1;
    char select='0';
    char gameGrid[4][4]={
        '2','1','2','4',
        '1','2','3','2',
        '3','4','4','3',
        '4','3','1','1'
        };
    char a;
    char b;
    char c;
    char d;
    int turnNum=0;
    int level=1;
    char YorN='0';
    int win=0;
    for(;;)
    {
          
           if(control==1)
                         {
                                control=2;
                                printf("\n Sort the characters!\n");
                                printf("\n Game %d...\n" ,level);
                                printf("\n    a b c d\n");
                                printf("\n 1  %c %c %c %c\n",gameGrid[0][0],gameGrid[0][1],gameGrid[0][2],gameGrid[0][3]);
                                printf(" 2  %c %c %c %c\n",gameGrid[1][0],gameGrid[1][1],gameGrid[1][2],gameGrid[1][3]);
                                printf(" 3  %c %c %c %c\n",gameGrid[2][0],gameGrid[2][1],gameGrid[2][2],gameGrid[2][3]);
                                printf(" 4  %c %c %c %c\n\n\n",gameGrid[3][0],gameGrid[3][1],gameGrid[3][2],gameGrid[3][3]);

used dev-c++ by the way

Very nice first project! I do recommend you tidy your code up a bit.. My OCD is making me want to tidy it up already..
