使用指针动态分配数组

我试图在我的井字游戏中使用指针动态分配数组。我对指针到底是如何工作的有点困惑。我们使用cplusplus.com网站作为我们的教科书，我认为关于指针的部分对我来说有点困惑。是否有可能得到一个解释，并可能帮助我的井字游戏?下面是我的代码:

//Sophia Ali
// TicTacToe (CS-509 Assignment 5)
#include<iostream>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
enum Status { WIN, DRAW, CONTINUE, QUIT };
void showBoard( const char board[], int boardSize );
// show current state of board
Status checkGameState( const char board[] );
// returns WIN or CONTINUE
int getHumanSquare( const char board[] );
int getComputerSquare( const char board[] );
bool checkBadSquare( const char board[], int squareNum );
// checks to see if a chosen square is already taken; returns true if
// already taken; used by get*Square functions above.
int getrandint( int min, int max );

int main()
{
    char board[] = "123456789";   // 10 element char board
    const int boardSize = 10;
    Status gameState = CONTINUE;
    int gametype, squareChoice, turnNum = 0;
    char currentSymbol;           // 'o' or 'x'

    cout << "n This is a Tic Tac Toe program. Choose the type of game: "
         << "n (1) human o vs. human x    (2) human o vs. dumb computer x"
         << "nn -> ";
    cin  >> gametype;
    /* Show the current state of Tic Tac Toe board. */
    showBoard( board, boardSize );
    /*
       Main game loop
     */
    while ( gameState == CONTINUE )
    {
        /* Increment turnNum by 1. */
        turnNum++;

        /* If turnNum equal to 10
              Set gameState to DRAW.
              Break out of while loop. */
        if ( turnNum == 10 )
        {
            gameState = DRAW;
            break;
        }

        /* If we are on an odd-numbered turn
              Print "It's o's turn."
              Set currentSymbol to 'o'.
              Call getHumanSquare function to get squareChoice.
           Else (we are on an even-numbered turn)
              Print "It's x's turn."
              Set currentSymbol to 'x'.
              If the gametype is 1 (human vs. human)
                 Call getHumanSquare function to get squareChoice.
              Else (gametype is 2 (human vs. computer))
                 Call getComputerSquare function to get squareChoice.*/
        // Get current player's square choice and insert into board
        if ( turnNum%2 != 0)
        {
            cout << "n It's o's turn.";
            currentSymbol = 'o';
