C++ :: Match Word To Definition Hangman Game
Jun 25, 2014
Basically I have a text file called words. I'm supposed to extract a word randomly from the file and have the user guess the word according to the definition.
I'm having trouble matching the definition to the word from the text file.
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int number;
int count = 0;
string word;
[Code] ....
Here is my text file
apple#the usually round, red or yellow, edible fruit of a small tree
boat#a vessel for transport by water
horse#a solid-hoofed plant-eating domesticated mammal with a flowing mane and tail, used for riding
television#a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens
soup#a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc.
bottle#a container, typically made of glass or plastic and with a narrow neck
barber#a person who cuts hair
toast#sliced bread browned on both sides by exposure to radiant heat
radar#a system for detecting the presence, direction, distance, and speed of aircraft, ships, and other objects
red#of a color at the end of the spectrum next to orange and opposite violet

Basically I have a text file called words. I'm supposed to extract a word randomly form the file and have the user guess the word. If they guess the word correctly in x number of tries they will receive the definition.
I'm having trouble receiving that random word and I'm getting the definitions from the file.
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
[Code] ....
This is what is in the words.txt file
apple#the usually round, red or yellow, edible fruit of a small tree
boat#a vessel for transport by water
horse#a solid-hoofed plant-eating domesticated mammal with a flowing mane and tail, used for riding
television#a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens
soup#a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc.

Ok here I have a program that reads a word from a text file randomly and matches it with the definition. The user has to guess what the word is according to the definition.
I'm having trouble with my for loop, I'm not getting any errors. But I just know something is off.
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int number;
int count = 0;
int numOfGuess = 0;
[Code] ...
This is words.txt:
apple#the usually round, red or yellow, edible fruit of a small tree
boat#a vessel for transport by water
horse#a solid-hoofed plant-eating domesticated mammal with a flowing mane and tail, used for riding
television#a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens
soup#a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc.

The compiler says my Rotor's cctor's definition doesn't match it's prototype.
Also, how can I convert my for loops into foreach loops?
Attached is the project.

designing an algorithm forHangman game.
I've got everything I need that is expected of my program except this.
When the user starts the game they will have these letters available to them:
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
Now if they were to guess 'a' it should look like this:
"-bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
then if they were to guess 'k':
"-bcdefghij-lmnopqrstuvwxyz"
and so forth.

I'm making a hangman game. All i need to do is after the user guesses the letter correctly it replaces the stars with that letter. I have been trying for the past 2 hours and cant get it. So basically I have to do this. DisplayWord.replace(0, theWord(0)) but I don't know how to put it in.
This is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

i am trying to make a hangman game. The game works fine so far but i cannot seem to keep track of the letters used. I have to prevent the user from using a letter that has already been entered by the user at some point in the game before. But can't seem to work my way around it. I have included the code below
#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<ctime>

I am recreating a hangman game. I'm trying to generate a random number to choose which word from my words list to use and I've done it a billion times before just like this. So, here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> //standard library.
#include <ctime> //for random.
#include <fstream> //for reading and writing to a file.
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int num_words;
string word[num_words];
[Code] .....
I have the text file "words.txt" info below.
5
dog
cat
horse
pig
bird
If I run the program as it is, I get a segmentation fault core dumped error, however, if I take all the stuff that reads in the words from the words.txt file, like so:
#include <iostream> //every program has this.
#include <cstdlib> //standard library.
#include <ctime> //for random.
#include <fstream> //for reading and writing to a file.
#include <string>
[Code] ....
it works correctly and generates a random number.
I'm using Linux Mint.

My question is how can i read one line from a ".txt" file? To be more clear, i'm trying to write a hangman game. Therefore I'm trying to get words from a "wordlist.txt" file i created. I know a little bit about ifstream, ofstream and fstream. So my function i created to get a random line from this txt (not-completed yet since i don't know how to get that randomized line);
void grw() {
int line;
srand (time(NULL));
line = (rand() % 7972) + 1;
ifstream wordlist;
wordlist.open("wordlist.txt");
}
I created a variable called 'line' for the line number and randomized it (there are 7972 words in ".txt" file). So what i want to do now is to get the word on that line.

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;

My program compiles fine and doesn't have any errors so I am confused as to what the issue might be.
I have a int, which is determined by the user via cin.
I have a char, which is a random word generated from an input file.
1. I want the program to display "The word you entered does match..." if the word entered by the user is the same as the random word.
2. I want the program to display "The word you entered does not match..." if the word entered by the user is not the same as the random word.
The code I'm using for number one is
if (char == "int") cout << "does match..."
The code I'm using for number two is
else if (char != "int") cout << "does not match..."
Basically the programs only outputs "does not match" whether or not it really matches. Even if it matches, it outputs does not match.
Is something wrong with my code?

I need writing my header files for my program of hangman. I've written what I could, but when I try parts out on their own to see if they work, I get errors. I haven't written my driver yet since I wanted to get this header working first. The first function needs to take the name of the file and read in its contents into the globally declared array. The second function takes no arguments and returns a word from the word list chosen at random. I guess my question is, would what I have so far work, or am I completely off? Here's what I have so:
randword.h
#ifndef _randword_h
#define _randword_h
//static char words[100][50];
/*
*Function: InitDictionary
*This function reads in the dictionary of words and puts them into an array. */
void InitDictionary(void);

I'm learning programming, and C++. I've got a question, but I couldn't solve my problem so far. I need to use arrays and only basic stuff to solve this:
Create a program that reads a word from the user and then print (cout) this word on contrary. It's simple, I know, but I can't do it,. I've tried some stuff but I don't get how I will get the proper values to do this. All I know is that I can use variable.lenght().

I've taken part the text into 1 word per line, but I can't figure out how to printf every word only once and then add (%d) in the end to show how many repetitions of that word there are.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char *oneword;

I have text (string) and I want to find a given word (it's ok!) and then insert another given word after the first word. The original string is beeing copied into a new string. But something is going wrong!!! Where is my mistake?
(I have some patches...)
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
//insert "new_word" after each occurence of "word"
int main(){
char A[100]="In the sentence words the and the.";

I definitely know it can't be sorted but how can I sort this as best as possible.
