I have gotten most of the stuff in the paranthesis to work but some of the other stuff works in bits and piece and cant seem to put it all together could you please help(this is a visual studio program) (This game is a nim game where a user inputs 2 names first they input first name and click OK which validates the name to see if it is and empty string if its empty throws an error if valid it unlocks player 2 name entry and ok button and does the same. Once both names are entered the lets play button is clicked.)

Once that is clicked the program should randomly select from the 2 players and enter the player that is going first once the player is selected they can select a row they would like to pick from and must pick atleast one X value before clicking i have completey my turn. Once that is clicked the program should subtract from the maximum value of 16, also check if the selected row has any left if there are none left the row should be disableled for the next player and system should display the next players turn. the process repeates until the player that selects the last X and presses i have completed my turn and declare him as the LOSER.
