Lets say that I try and make a BASIC game with c++, how do I make the animations/graphics for the game (i.e the characters ) Do I need a specific complier/ide (I am using visual studio)
View 11 RepliesI'm new to c++ So I have a project to make. I need to make a cursor like an arrow that will move when inputs are given. e.g if input is given 500 spaces UP it will move up and so on. it should rotate as well like 45 degrees and so on. how to make this arrow WITHOUT USING GRAPHICS.

How do i remove the flickering
Here is the game which i have made till now.

void enemycar(int x, int y) {
setcolor(15);

I needed to know if there is any possible way to make a colorful text in graphics mode
Like each letter will have different colors using setcolor(random(20));
I'm making a simple single-player game. Now, assume I've made the game, how would I go about making it available to play on LAN? (I'm not really bothered about making it playable across the world with people not on the same wi-fi)
So, any way that I could get started or any libraries/APIs ....
I'm using Windows 8.1 and I'd like my game to be playable on other Windows OSs (7 and Vista if possible)
So far I only made console and windows form apps but how do I make something like a 2D game with drawn objects and not a text-based program?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm just playing around with C++ and I'm trying to make a sort of virtual pet game. I know its not the best looking code but I'm trying. But as of right now I'm trying to be able to animate the game a little . For example , if a user decides to "pet" their "pet" I want the pets mouth to open from '_' to ^o^ like this:
() ()
('_') -> () ()
(^o^) and switch back and forth.
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
void Greeting()

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.

when it comes to programming. I was trying to make a simple letter guessing game where the user has 6 chances to guess the letter V. The command prompt works fine until the user enters 'y' to play. It repeats my HIGH & LOW statements twice before letting me guess again. It's all a mess.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I've just been messing with enet trying to figure out how to make a server and client for a game. I'm having problems whenever the server receives something from a client. For now I'm just trying to send it to all the clients for them to draw the other player, but for some reason whenever I try to an error message comes up saying a breakpoint has been triggered. I don't know why it is happening. This is the code that is giving me problems.
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < peers.size(); i++)
enet_peer_send(peers[0], 0, event.packet);
I'm working with a game editor program, where the player can create their own maps. Right know I'm working with collisions, and since it's unpredictable where the player place the objects like trees, houses and cars...etc have I an idea with making a rectangle selection tool. Where the player can drag a collision box around the object, so the sprite stops when it hits the box. The problem is that I dont know how to make a tool like that. so my question is how do I create a tool like that (see picture under for more information)?
btw I'm using the SDL framework
here is a picture that illustrate the tool I want to create: [URL] ....
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 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 have started making a text adventure game.
if (Choice == 2) {
cout << "" << endl << "You follow the light to the end of the hallway, you find your self in a room" << endl
<< "with natural light coming from a hole in the ceiling." << endl << "" << endl << "You hear the door you just came through, slam behind you!" << endl << "" << endl
<< "There are three possible directions." << endl << "" << endl << "Do you:" << endl << "" << endl << "1) Go forward" << endl << "" << endl << "2) Go left" << endl
[Code] .....
Ignore the if (Choice == 2) at the beginning, that's linked to some previous code.
I want to make the player go back to the first bit of text but i'm not sure how to do this if they keep choosing to go back and forth from one location.
I first thought of doing it by just putting the text back in after they have chosen the option, but I can't do this infinite times.
I am trying to make a basic Snake game using the command window and screen refreshes. So far I have a board, snake, food, and no walls. Basically I have it so the snake moves like the traditional snake in the game, when it eats the food once it grows. However when it eats the food a second time the game crashes. I think I have narrowed the issue down to the grow array that I have (below) but I am not sure if the issue could be a result of something else.
Grow Array
cord growArray (cord *p_values, int *size)
{
*size = *size + 1;
cord *p_new_values = new cord[ *size ];

I'm working on my first video game. So far I have a few classes in the game starting with the Game class which includes a list of GameObjects (another class). There are several classes that inherit from GameObjects used to implement things like bullets, explosions, various enemy types, etc.
The game essentially iterates through the list of GameObjects to update/render them. I would like to provide access to the Game's list of GameObjects inside another class (like the Bullet class) so I can put new objects on the list. For example, when a bullet hits, I want to add an explosion to the Game's GameObject list it can be updated/rendered.
How this should be setup? I was considering adding a pointer to the Game or GameObject list to the GameObject class (and methods to access it), but I was wondering if there is a better way to set this up?
I would like to make a program for calculating the total price of a game station, and a game. I made a program like this for just the price of a game in class, but I want to make one that does the game system as well.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I've got a sensor (contains a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer) that outputs quaternion data. I'm looking to take that data and use it to display the rotation of my sensor in the form of some object on the screen. I've seen instances where programs use a cube, but I'm hoping to figure out a way to have a little more control over what the object I'm rendering is.
how to get started? Are there any software packages that might be able to accomplish this?
I use visual studio 2012. When I asked what I should use in order to put graphics into my program, I was told by the community that SFML works well. My only problem is that now I have SFML, where and how do I unpack it?
