C++ :: Creating 2 Dimensional Console Base Game
Jun 13, 2013
what i got so for my code.
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace System;
using namespace std;
int refreshDisplay(int , int);
const char wHole = '@';
[code]....
count <<" The oblective of the game is for the player to move around a 2 dimensional playing field and capture the star withought falling into a black hole or walking off the edge of the playing field. The controls are W = up S= down A=Left D=Right" <<endl; how implement 3 black hole X characters and 2 wormhole characters on field @ and a star *. all these char has to be randomly generated.

How would I make a game map in the console using text? The map is to be changed on a turn-based system. I've been thinking about using arrays.

I am writing a program for my beginning c++ class. It is supposed to create an invoice in the console window. so far, everything is working perfectly, except for one thing. My invoice comes out looking like this:
696.60 - 27 Adult Meals at $25.80 each.
+ 46.44 - 3 Child Meals at $15.48 each.
--------
743.04 - Total Cost of All Meals (Add the above numbers together)
+ 52.01 - Weekend Surcharge (743.04 x .07)
+143.11 - Tax/Tip ((743.04 + 52.01) x .18)
--------
938.16 - Total Party Cost
- 57.50 - Deposit Received
--------
880.66 - Balance Due
- 32.84 - 3.5% Prompt Payment Discount (938.16 x .035)
--------
847.83 - Balance Due (If Paid Within Ten Days)
The problem is that if I add these numbers on a calculator, I get as result of $847.82, not $847.83. I checked them individually and they are all being rounded properly. If I add them up using the entire decimal value of the calculations, rather than the truncated value, I get $847.83.
So, the question is as follows: In C++, how do I do each calculation, round the answer to 2 decimal places, then use only the rounded number in the next calculation?

I want to create a text-based game with C++, running on the console. I have made some other text-based console games.
Which is the most interesting text-based game to learn how to program for beginners?

I recently wrote a "Tic Tac Toe" console game, and i seem to have a problem in my winning conditions, as when it checks if the player won (should have won) it doesn't take the appropriate action.
The winning conditions are in CoreLogic.cpp
here's the code, might not be the most pretty and clean code ever but it works for me.
there are more files i just didn't feel the need to include them all since the problem is only within CoreLogic.cpp and possibly in main.cpp
pos1-pos9 have been declared in the UserInterface.cpp and are being used to determine the correct decision to do within CoreLogic.cpp
Nothing happens when you win at this point it just exits the program.

I am making a program that formats a string. I want to create a new 2 dimensional string that will have many other chars and strings in it beside the original string. Then I split the string up on the newlines and return it. Adding different parts to the 2d string e.g. I need to add five _ as chars not string then I need to add different things. First I use sprintf () to add as much as possible. And then I do what to add the rest?

I receive unexpected outcome in my program. Instead of getting all combinations of 0, 1, 2 (i.e. 000, 001, ..., 222) I get only 000 001 002 010 011 012. The idea of the progarm is to create a crystal lattice. Each atom of the lattice has 3 coordinates (x, y, z). That's why I create class Atom. Then I create 3-dim array of the type derived from class Atom. Now each element of the class will represent an atom.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Atom {
public:
float x, y, z;

All I am trying to do is create another source file in a simple Visual Studio C++ console application.
I get the following errors:
intellisense: expected a delcaration
error C2447: "{" missing function header
I didn't create another int main () in this source file, so what is causing these errors.

I'm creating a kind of connect 4 game that will be due on November 30. I'm starting now so that I don't have to worry about it as much later. Anyways, I just started, and I already have some questions/problems. I want to be able to change that numPlayers outside of the function, so I used pointers like my instructor said to, but it is giving me an error that numPlayers(the argument) is not an int*. How do I fix this?
Code:
int numPlayers=0;
void promptNumPlayers(int *numPlayers)
{
printf("Enter the number of players: ");
*numPlayers=readInt(stdin);
if (*numPlayers != 1 && *numPlayers != 2)
}

I'm working on designing a game in C++ that is similar to the "find the ball under the cup" game. I have a Sonic the Hedgehog icon (weird I know, but it was the first thing that came to mind) that will be hidden underneath one of three rectangular blocks.
Here is how I envision this working:
On the main menu I have 3 buttons which represent 3 different difficulty levels
Easy- blocks move 3 times at a slow speed
Medium- blocks move 5 times at a slightly faster speed
Hard- blocks move 10 times at a fast speed
When the user clicks one of these buttons they will be taken to the game screen.
Sonic will be displayed for 3 seconds and the user will then see him be covered with one of the three blocks.
The three blocks will then move in a random pattern along the middle of the screen at the speed and number of times associated with the button that was pressed.
Once the blocks stop moving, the user is to click on the one they think Sonic is underneath.
If they choose correctly, they'll be taken to a "Winning Screen" that displays a congratulatory message and 2 buttons. Play Again- returns the user to the main menu and the game starts over with a new random pattern. Quit- the window closes.
If they choose incorrectly, they'll be taken to a "Losing Screen" that displays a "Try Again" message and 2 buttons that have the same function as the buttons on the winning screen.
I have never worked with any kind of graphics before other than in HTML and Javascript. I have managed to create the main menu, but how to do the actual game portion of the project. I've been trying to take it a step at a time, (for example, I first figured out how to set the background color for the console window, after I got that right I figured out how to add buttons) but the rest of this seems to depend on each other.
Here is what I have so far:
Main menu:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;
class MainMenu
[Code]....
So I've got the screens pretty much designed now (with the exception of the game screen itself) but how to tie everything together.
In case my description wasn't too clear, here is a game that I found on Google that is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. [URL]

Im trying to create something like a menu in a tic tac toe game. I want the computer to ask the user "who starts first" is it the X or the O who starts first? Then the user should type in either X or O but if he types something else i want to ask again .
this is what ive done :
int main () {
printf("

printf(" %c | %c | %c
", board[1], board[2], board[3]);

I'm supposed to create a "game" that is similar to Candy Crush or Bejeweled. The assignment takes in a .txt file that contains a matrix of values from 1-5 and then assigns each value to a spot in a [10][10] array. Then an Escape Code function prints out colored pixels in place of the number values for each spot, creating a "game board" looking output. Finally, the program is supposed to look for any matches of 3 same-colored pixels and replace them with a white pixel and "XX". Then the program prints the corrected game board with the matches X'd out.
I have it mostly coded, but I've encountered a couple of issues.
1.) I am supposed to label the columns and rows 0-9, and while I have no problem coding the labels for the columns using printf( ), when I try to print the row labels I get a random string of numbers.
2.) I replaced the matches with white pixels by reassigning the value in the array to 7, for which the ANSI Escape Code is white. However, I'm unsure about how to print the "XX" in the same spot.
Here is the input(.txt) file and the output of the program so far:
And here is what I have coded at this point:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void printEscapeCode(int c);
int main(void)
{
/* Declare an image array to be gameboard */
int gameboard[10][10];
/* Declare variables and load in how many rows and columns */
int Nrows;
Nrows = 0;

I have been given the task of creating a frog leap game that starts at 1 and finishes at 12. The layout is as follows. The '@' symbols are just included to show blank white space.
1-----2 @@ 3---4
|@@ |@@@ |
|@@ |@@@ |
5@@ 6------7-----8
|@@ @@@ |@@ |
|@@ @@@ |@@ |
9----10 @ 11 @12
Each number within the game will represent an object, the user will have to reach the 12th leaf start from leaf 1. the frog can only move in the directions of forwards backwards, left and right. Any starting points? E.g. using and array or list? i have a feeling this is going to be a big task. is inheritance possible?

I want to create a game that will test the attention and mind flexibility of the user. So the challenge is The user will be given 50 rounds, and each round should generate a random combination of text and words.Then the user must Press 'Y' if the UPPER CASE text spells out a color that match the BACKGROUND. But if the text are in LOWERCASE the user must press 'N'.(Note: you can change the keys to any key from the keyboard if you wish to)
Then I also want my program to record the high score each time the program prompts the user if he/she wishes to play again.
I also want to control the combinations by NOT allowing the text color and background color to be the same.
I also want the combination to generate an AVERAGE of 50% correct combination and 50% wrong combinations. The I want to use is only Red, Blue and Green
HIGH SCORE Determinants:
1. Accuracy ( (Number of corrects / 50 ) * 100% ) - The higher the better.
2. Time in seconds (Time Ended - Time Started) - the lower the better.
Computation for high score: 10 000 * ( (Accuracy) - (2 x total Attempts - Time) )

I've been having trouble working on this physics engine of mine. Right now I'm having trouble adding gravity.
The game is a spaceship--which you control--flying around in space with asteroids and eventually the ability to shoot bullets. There should be a wrap on the edges of the screen and gravity for each object depending on their mass.
I'm creating a forceX and forceY for each force put onto each object, and then computing that force into a velX and velY which will determine the direction of each object and at which speed.
Where my problem arises:
Code:
//add gravity pulls to forces
for(int i = 0; i <= pushCount; i++) //add gravity pulls for each object {
for(int u = 0 ; u <= pushCount; u++) //each object should add a force for every other object {
if(i != u) {
switch(id[i])

As you can see I want to create a dynamically allocated storage of references to a parent class each of which can then point to a child class, how ever I do not know how to extract the child class out again from that array so i may access its variable b.

addition(char st[], char st2[], int base){
int i, j, carry = 0, ans, len, o=0, z=1, l=0;
