So I am having trouble here the code is "Okay" but here is my problem this part : player[3]; can not be a global any idea on how to change it so it is not? the rest of the code is below this part where i am having trouble 

struct PLAYER { char grid[BOARD_WIDTH][BOARD_HEIGHT]; }player[3]; //Ignore player 0, just using player's 1 & 2
