so I decided to write a boggle board generator, and it doesn't exactly work.
the problem is that it prints a 4x3 grid... what....
also in the place where i have used[thenum] check, used[thenum] is always 1 even at the very beginning of the program. i initialize it to all zeros.
any ideas?
ps don't bug me about using rand() this is just a PoC
also: i use mac 10.8 xcode
