C/C++ :: Text Based Game - Adding Players Names?
Mar 28, 2015
I am trying to make a very simple text based game and I want the players to be able to name their characters. Thus, I am trying to have the game ask "how many players will be playing:" and then taking that number (X) and create a place to store that information. I'm trying to get the game to ask, "What is the name of Player1?" Then once the user enters the name it would ask "What is the name of Player2" and that cycle would continue until PlayerX has entered their name. Is what I am doing close?
Here are the errors:
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'string'(ln 29 col 1)
Error2error C2678: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'std::basic_istream<char,std::char_traits<char>>' (or there is no acceptable conversion) (ln 30 col 1)
int NumberOfPlayers;
if (Response1 == "Yes") {
cout << "
How many players will be joining us on our adventure: ";

I was tasked with creating a program that asks for the scores of three gamers then takes these scores and outputs the highest. I THINK I have the other parts down but I don't know how to get the program to compare the scores and output the highest without having to write a long list of commands comparing playerone to playertwo, then player one to playerthree, then player two to playerone, etc.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int playerOne, playerTwo, playerThree;
cout << "Please enter score for Player One: ";
cin >> playerOne;

The program that I have written below is working. It calculates a number of payroll type variables and most recently the net pay average (All this is working 100%).
My problem is that I need to add first and last employee names to the program but every time I do this I end up ruining the working program. I've successfully added first and last names to similar programs in the past(ones that make use of an array and while loop) but never to a program that uses functions (I always have problems doing this).
My question is what codes do I use to add a first and last name variable and where do I put those codes within my program so it runs/displays correctly.
I think the coding must be similar to what I've used in the past charr and of course firstname[i] and lastname[i] lines.
Current Input File:
16454025.00
89324020.00
71044012.50

56414011.25
90006025.00
90015020.00
90025523.00
Ideal input file (would include names) Example.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

I have been writing a fairly simple turn based rpg game in c++ and at the moment it has a 2d integer array for the map, which I can display using periods for the blank areas and letters for the various people in the game, and I am trying to figure out how to upgrade to a tile based display.

I am starting a turn based battle (similar to pokemon) app. How could i make this and make it cross platform. Also is it possible to make it access gps and allow other devices with the same app communicate with each other?
I have done things on the command line but i never made anything with images so i dont even know where to start for this app.

I'm trying to arrange names alphabetically from a text file. Inside my textfile, it's like : "John", "Edward", "Peaches", "Anna"... etc.(It has thousand more names, all with quotations, separated by comma and I think it's not typed line by line... but using only one line). How can I read each name separately?
this code, it works if the text file contains names separated by lines and without commas and quotations. I do not know with the case I've stated above.
string numbers[1000];
string line;
string number;
string y;
string x;
int z = 1;
ifstream myfile;
myfile.open("names.txt");
[Code]...
This only shows the data inside text file. I'm new in c++.

I am working on my first RPG. Nothing fancy so far... I haven't developed a story or anything, just trying to get the gameplay hammered out. Anyway, I have a couple of NPCs and Items and I was wondering how I should program these interactive spots. I'm unsure whether I should loop the Room info or continue forward with if statements. With Items, I want to prevent the player trying to use the option to get the item again (after you pick up the item, the option is gone. Here are a couple examples of where I have the problem
else if(playerloc == 3)
{
cout << "There is a hooded figure in the corner. "
<< "The person waves you over.
";
[Code]....
What I want to do after the character interaction is complete is continue forward with the option to go south or east. I could return to the room menu, or continue by coding forward and allow the option to go east or south with more if-else-if chains..
In the next bit, I want to program the item to be picked up and then the treasure chest will be empty.
else if(playerloc == 5)
{
cout << "There is a treasure chest in the Northwest corner of this room.
"
[Code].....

I've a problem here...
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
[Code] ....
The program needs to be able to read the middle names within the text file named Info2.txt
Simply adding the Mname or any related value where the other to name values doesn't do anything and only the 1st line appears on the output.
Don Jon111012
Jack Bo Todd151015
Jill Jo Jane161011
Bob Jack Chuck 131513
Da Fu111012
That is the correct way it appears in the text file. Also I know it's commented out, but that just to keep the program from crashing.
current output
Survey Results:
Name Results
Don Jon 33.00
This is the Info1.txt file info by the way.
Ken A202017
Gus B151015
Bill C151512
Jara C151720
Lu E101510
Chow B171015
And the output
Survey Results:
Name Results
Ken A 57.00
Gus B40.00
Bill C42.00
Jara C52.00
Lu E35.00
Chow B 42.00
Which when ran with Info1 selected, it is the correct output I'm looking for. I've tried getline and other solutions and they didn't work.

I'm currently creating a text-based RPG, to get myself back into learning C++ again. The problem seems to be with the if-else ladder of statements, the user selects which race they wish to play as, which as a result creates the appropriate object for that race.
This is the character selection option code:
std::cout << "Please select a race: Human [1], Elf [2], Dwarf [3] or Orc [4]
";
std::cout << "Race selection: ";
std::cin >> race_selection;
std::cin.ignore();
switch (race_selection) {
[Code] .....
The problem here is, regardless of which race I use using the above switch statement, the Human object always seems to be created, instead of the object for the desired race.

ID | Title | Content
This is what I have so far, I know I am on the right track, I just cant figure out how to get each box to display based on the ID.
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
try {
string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["sdcAssistDB"].ConnectionString;

How you'd type yes or no scenarios for a text based RPG? And I mean a really basic like 'you see ..... what do you do?'. Also, how would you finish a code like this.

I have two classes, productListType and buyerListType, that are each basically linked lists. To create the linked list for an object of productListType, I successfully wrote a non-class function createProductList to read the product data from a text file. The class definition for buyerListType has a data member productBoughtRecord that is of type productListType to aggregate the details of the products purchased by a particular buyer during transactions. I decided to make productBoughtRecord a pointer since the contents of this data member would wax and wane over the course of several transactions, depending on the amount and frequency of payments made by the buyer. I have provided a rough sketch of the class below:
class buyerListType
{
public:
setCustomerInfo( ....., productListType* p);
.
.
.
private:
productListType* productBoughtRecord;
.
.
};
I'm similarly trying to write a non-class function createBuyerList to load the record of customers from a text file. How do I determine what the value of the formal parameter p in member function setCustomerInfo is, in order to be able to set the data member productBoughtRecord? take into consideration that an object of class buyerListType would have multiple buyers with varying amounts of products purchased.

Write an interactive text based menu interface (using a loop) that will allow the user to
Enter a task or assignment Display all of the tasks that are in the file Find a task by Course Quit For each task, you need to keep track of:
Course Name that it is for (e.g., CS162)
Description of the assignment (e.g., Finish Lab 2)
Due date (e.g., 9/26/2009)
Allow the program to keep looping until user wants to quit. When the program starts, it should load the tasks from external file ("tasks.txt") into memory. When user enters the three items of a task, the program needs to read them in, save them in memory and eventually write them to the external data file ("tasks.txt"). The file format could look like: (The ';' is used as a delimiter or field seperator.)
Some Implementation Requirements:
Write at least four functions WITH arguments for this assignment. Use struct named Task to model task Use array of structs to model the collection of tasks. Hint: In this assignment, the description and course name may have multiple words in it. Therefore, you now SHOULD read using the 3 argument version of get. Watch out. When using the 3 argument version of get you need to make sure to remove the delimiter or newline. Therefore, anytime you read (even a confirmation message), make sure to eat the newline! Make sure to have a delimiter written between each item in the file – like a newline. This will be important when you read the information back from the file.
This is my code so far:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
char cname[25],desc[20];

Here is the assignment... Write a program to generate a report based on input received from a text file. Suppose the input text file student_status.txt contains the student’s name (lastName, firstName middleName), id, number of credits earned as follows :
Doe, John K.
3460 25
Andrews, Susan S.
3987 72
Monroe, Marylin
2298 87
Gaston, Arthur C.
2894 110
Generate the output in the following format :
John K. Doe 3460 25 Freshman
Susan S. Andrews 3987 40 Sophomore
Marylin Monroe 2298 87 Junior
Arthur C. Gaston 2894 110 Senior
The program must be written to use the enum class_level :
enum class_level {FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR, SENIOR } ;
and define two namespace globalTypes (tys and fys) for the function :
class_level deriveClassLevel(int num_of_credits) ;
The function deriveClassLevel should derive the class_level of the student based on the number of credits earned.
The first namespace globalType tys should derive the class level based on a two year school policy. And the second namespace globalType fys should derive the class level based on a four year school policy.
Four Year School Policy:
Freshman 0-29 creditsSophomore 30-59 credits
Junior 60-89 creditsSenior 90 or more credits
Two Year School Policy:
Freshman 0-29 creditsSophomore 30 or more credits
and this is the code I have so far...
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
enum class_level {FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE,JUNIOR,SENIOR};
class_level classLevel;
[Code] .....
My main question is did I use the namespaces and enum correctly? And my second question is whats the best way to input the data from the text file? This is really where I get stuck.

The first namespace globalType tys should derive the class level based on a two year school policy.
The second namespace globalType fys should derive the class level based on a four year school policy.
So I basically did it in parts and got everything working and then had to make the namespace so I had this:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
enum class_level { FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR, SENIOR };
[Code] ......
I know I have to clean it up and change it but it ran like it was suppose to. Then I tried adding the global namespaces and I this:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
enum class_level { FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR, SENIOR };
class_level classLevel;
[Code] ....
with this i keep getting an error saying tys::deriveClassLevel: must return a value and tys::fys::deriveClassLevel: must return a value. I have been messing around with this part and struggling I thought I used the namespace to run the if statements with the criteria for the years of school. Basically I have been stuck for awhile and trying to change things around but I cant seem to get it to work.
