C++ :: Read In A Maze File To Move Smiley Face Around In - Stuck On A For Loop Entry

C++ :: Pacman Game - Move Smiley In Code Automatically And Stop Screen Flickering?

Dec 26, 2013

So far I have managed to write the code for a simple game (resembling to "Pacman") :P. Now what I want is to move the smiley in the upper left-hand corner of the map "automatically" when the program runs and also want it to change it's direction to up or down when it touches the wall.

Also the screen is flickering when the program runs (due to re-printing the whole array?). I want to stop this flicker. Somebody suggested to use 'gotoxy' function.

Here's my code :

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
void display (char array [10][25] , int row , int column) {

C/C++ :: How To Make Object Move In A Maze

Apr 29, 2013

What c++ code can be used to make an 'X' move through a maze. I have some code, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I have divided the program into three files, A header file, a main file and a .cpp implementation file.

In my implementation file I have:

#include "Maze.h"  
Maze::Maze() {  
} void Maze::mazeTraversal(char maze[][COLS], int row, int col, int direction) {
    enum Direction {DOWN, RIGHT, UP, LEFT};  
    switch(option)

I'm stuck in a loop and I'm not sure how to update the final cout statements as well.

#include <iostream>

and yes those are the actual rates i need to calculate and they are in increments of 5%

C/C++ :: Stuck In A Loop And Can't Get Out

Feb 15, 2015

how to ask for the input (className) without getting stuck in the loop. When I remove

char className;
cout << "Enter the class name: " << endl;
cin >> className;

it works fine. When I leave it how it's displayed below it goes in an infinite loop. By the way I think "char" is not the appropriate way to declare className. If I want to output it later, should I changed it to "string"?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

C++ :: Stuck In Infinite Loop?

Feb 24, 2015

my code seems to enter an infinite loop should a user mistakenly enter a character other than a digit. The code is about selecting from a preset number of options, numbered 1- 4. If the user mistakenly enters a letter for example, instead of a number, the infinite loop kicks in...

C++ :: Variable Stuck In A Loop?

Feb 7, 2015

I want to create a loop that that generates a random number set and gives the user the option to run the loop again for a new number. I have that working but when the loop ends the variable value does not leave the loop. I tried a posttest and pretest loop.

Is it possible to declare/create/alter a variable in a loop and have that value exit the loop to use in the code later? I am still learning about global variables.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
int oneDiceSix() // Roll 1d6
{int oneDiceSix = 1+(rand()%6);
return oneDiceSix;} //end function

C :: Cannot Get Out Of Loop - Stuck With Updating Variables

Jul 18, 2013

Code:
#include<stdlib.h>#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<math.h>
int main(void)
{
double N, NG, LG, epsilon, root; // setting all variables to type double

[Code] .....

The goal is to create a program to calculate the square root of a number provided by the user to an error tolerance 0.005

Looking around i fond the Code: fabs(NG - LG) < epsilon); section that was very similar to what i was using, but if this is better im down for that.

My issue, from what i can see, is the updating of the values of LG. if the test for error tolerance fails then LG needs to take on the value of the results of NG.

Now I am not 100% that is the point of failure due to the fact the script does calculate the root properly, but it never exits the program once it reaches the tolerance level.

Code: imac:ENG-3211 user$ ./hw_4_1

Please enter the number you wish to find the square root: 4

4.00 2.500
4.00 2.050
4.00 2.001
4.00 2.000
4.00 2.000
4.00 2.000
4.00 2.000
4.00 2.000
4.00 2.000

And it continues forever until i manually break the program even though the answer was found, in this example, on the 4th loop.

C :: The Last User Entry In Loop Fprintfed Twice?

Apr 13, 2014

Still working on my first homegrown C program design . The function basically allows the user to enter a list of classes and grades and saves the list to a file to be used later in the file. The function compiles and runs through without error except for the fact that it always prints the last user entry to the *profilep file twice. Just as a note, the scanchar function is one I made to scan in one character and an end of line character to throw away the end of line char before I learned about %*c about 30 minutes ago...

Also I haven't much bothered to strengthen the function against crazy user input but I have heard using fgets and sscanf in conjunction can replace scanf and protect against weird user input. How to apply this within the program.

Code:
// creates a new profile and prints it to the profile file.
void newprof(FILE* profilep, const char *allclasses[ABBR_SIZE]){
int c, checker, counter;
int i, a;
char prof[MAX_PROF][ABBR_SIZE];
char grades[MAX_PROF][3];

C++ :: Move Elements From One Container To Another Without Loop

Feb 17, 2012

Is there an algorithm in the STL to move elements similar to how std::copy works? I have read various places that the new C++ standard has a move algorithm. Unfortunately the compiler I use (g++ (GCC) 4.2.0) does not support any C++0x updates.

I have a std::deque that I want to move a range from into an array. I am currently using something like this where

data_array is an unsigned char pointer to a buffer being passed in by the caller
dataQ is a std::deque<unsigned char> that is a member variable maintained within the class

Code:
for (int i = 0; i < numberBytesRequested; ++i) {
data_array[i] = dataQ.front();
dataQ.pop_front();
}

I'm concerned that executing this loop over and over again is going to be very inefficient.

C++ :: Read A File With 2 Numbers In It - Nested For Loop

Mar 17, 2013

I am attempting to read a file with 2 numbers in it. The first indicates the number of rows the second, the number of columns. So for a file (Data.txt) that contains the numbers 5 7, I want to display

0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 0 0 0 0

and write that output to a file.I can display the correct number of rows and columns but I can't figure out how to display alternating rows of 0's and 1's.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {

C/C++ :: Reading From File To Construct A Pointer Based Maze?

Nov 29, 2014

I'm trying to read a "pointer-based" maze .txt. The first letter in each row corresponds to the room letter...then the letters that follow are North node, East node, South node, and West node respectively. The asterisk indicates an empty room or not a valid option.

Here is what I have come up with, what is happening is after the file is parsed by read_maze it is calling my is_empty function indicating that there is no maze because it doesn't go into the else statement here.

I've attached a sample input file:

 maze.txt (130bytes)
Number of downloads: 19

We can't assume the rooms will be in order alphabetically A - Z, We are expecting a maximum of 12 rooms and there is a space between each letter or asterisk.

void Maze::read_maze(string FileName){

string line;
ifstream inStream;
inStream.open(FileName.c_str());
int test = inStream.peek();
int i = 0;
if (!(inStream.fail())){
while (!inStream.eof() && test != EOF){

C/C++ :: Program That Uses While Loop To Read A Set Of Integers From Input File?

The question is "Write a program that uses a while loop to read a set of integers from an input file called "data.txt" and prints the total number of even numbers read from the file."

Code below is the program I have created so far. I keep getting the window to pop up but not stay up so I am assuming I am doing something wrong.

#include <iostream>

C :: Program To Move Strings From 1 File To Another

Mar 5, 2013

My objectives for this program is to open and read a file "dict.txt" which has the following data:

dog
pepper

teapot

It needs to rotate the inner letters one to the right so you'd end up with "mrkear" etc, and then write those words into a new file "scramble.txt" one per line.I'm having a lot of problems understanding the program. Compiling is giving me a lot of warnings/errors.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAXW 10 //max number of words in file
#define MAXS 81 //max size of string
