C++ :: Using Loops For Drawing A Checkers Board?

Jan 27, 2014

This is the text of exercise 4 of chapter 12 of PPP; Draw a checkers board: 8-by-8 alternating white and red squares.

Is there a way to use the loop for doing that code to minimize the size of the code?

C++ :: Can't Refresh Checkers Board On Application

Dec 6, 2013

I Cant get my checkers game board to refresh every time i make a move. i have system("cls") But it does nothing of the sort.. To move a pice ive created an illusion which swaps one pieces appearance with another :

void getpiecetomove(int startx,int starty, int endx, int endy) {
boardpiece tmp;
//Regular Moves Pieces
tmp = board[startx][starty];
board[startx][starty] = board[startx+1][starty+1];
board[startx+1][starty+1] = tmp;
system("cls");
}

C :: Force Move In Checkers Game

Dec 6, 2013

I am doing a checkers program in C and were not allowed to use standard C99. Things are going relatively well so far. I have 2d array that acts as a matrix for my board and have ways to check if a space is empty and if it is occupied by a specific players chip.

Right now I have a giant messy method that I will split up sooner or later but Im just trying to understand and build the logic. It looks like this:

Code:
void isValidMove(int origin, int dest, int player) {
int rowDiff = abs(origin%8 - dest%8);
int possibleMoveLeftUp = origin - 9;
int possibleMoveLeftDown = origin + 9;
int possibleMoveRightUp = origin - 7;

[Code] ....

So although its not pretty i think the logic is sound. I can tell whether or not a player is attempting to make a move or a jump. I haven't implemented make_move() yet but thats no problems. My biggest deal is that I need to find a way to tell the user he has to jump if its available. I feel like this is a very difficult task for me to grasp and is more about algorithm logic and math then the C language which is what the course is for.

So, how I could loop through all of a specific players chips and see if that player has an available jump. Also if he does then the jump has to be taken and then checked again as if there is another legal jump then it needs to be taken as well until their are no jumps left. Of course there could be 2 routes available, but I think I could deal with that if I just could come up with a reasonable way of checking....

C++ :: Board Not Printing Correctly

C++ :: Tic Tac Toe - Board Is Not Showing Numbers

I'm programming tic tac toe but the board is not showing numbers, and it is simply stating the winner without any input: (the win conditions are not complete, but it shouldn't matter).

//Write a two-player tic-tac-toe game; use enums when possible to represent the values of the board

char ticBoard[3][3];
char board[10];
void showBoard();

C/C++ :: TicTacToe Board Won't Update - Prints Twice

Feb 22, 2015

Im trying to make a Tic Tac Toe board for an assignment. Right now it compiles fine but when I enter an x or o it does not update the board it just prints out the '.'s that the board is initialized to. Also, when I get to player 2 the board will printout twice so its 6 rows or 3 columns. The project uses a main to ask who starts then goes to a play function that asks for inputs and calls the makeMove function to place the x's and o's and the print function to display the updated board.

bool Board::makeMove(int rowIn, int columnIn, char currentPlayer) {
if (playBoard[rowIn][columnIn] == '.') {
playBoard[rowIn][columnIn] = currentPlayer;
return true;

C :: Reading Button Input On Arduino Board

Mar 7, 2013

Okay so this is part of a small uni module around the arduino board. The task is to simulate traffic lights at a junction. At the moment my code below runs through the sequence with 2 seperate lights. When one set of lights turns RED , the other turns GREEN.In my main loop method I need to add a button for a crossing. I want to be able to check if the button is pressed at each of the delays but do not want to have to hold it down.I have thought about putting it at the top of the loop but then the program will only check if button is pressed in that point therefore the user will have to hold it down?

Code:

int green1 = 13 ;
int amber1 = 12 ;
int red1 = 11 ;

int green2 = 6 ;
int amber2 = 7 ;
int red2 = 8 ;
}

C :: How To Edit Printed Array Board For Simple Candy Crush Game

Oct 24, 2013

I am required to create a simple candy crush game.

I am this stage where I am required to print the 'box' for navigation purpose at the center of the board once the program initializes.

Here is the code:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
//FUNCTION: Draw the Board

[Code].....

I understand that the sequence could be to clear the screen and print the whole board with the indicated marker.

*Yes I am required to move the box in later part of the program but for now, I just need to get the box to show up at coordinate

Code: board[5][5]

I am stuck ...

C++ :: Drawing A Map - Tiling In SDL

Jan 18, 2013

I'm in the beginning stages of designing my first video game using SDL, and have run into a bit of an impasse. I attempt to draw the map using a simple tile function and nothing prints to the screen. I am going to attach the function itself.

bool Tile::draw_tiles ( void ) {
GV gv;

//Open the map
std::ifstream map ( "test.map" );
for ( int y = 0; y < GV::MAP_HEIGHT / 64; y++ ) {
for ( int x = 0; x < GV::MAP_WIDTH / 64; x++ ) {

[Code] ....

Extra notes:
1. Compiles fine.
2. No run time errors (this function returns true).
3. Apply surface is a function that takes an x and y value for position on the
map, an image, a screen to print it to, and a rectangle to cut out the image out of.
4. I did some bug testing and added another function to print the image SDLS_tiles by itself (its just a simple sprite map) after the map.close() function, and it worked fine.

Visual C++ :: Puzzle Game - Implement A Way To Save Board State Throughout User Inputted Path

Mar 16, 2013

I've been trying to figure out how to implement a way to save this board state throughout a user's inputted path. At the end, I need the output to print out the board states (user's path) of how he or she got the puzzle solved. This puzzle is the 15 Puzzle; but we have it to change by the user's input on what size they want to play (3x3 to 5x5). How to save the board state of each user input, then print those out in order from beginning to solved puzzle state. Subsequently, I would also need transferring the board state to change with using a vector to store the size based on user input. How to proceed, using a first search to solve the puzzle from the current board's state.

calculations.h

Code:
/*Calculations set as a header to keep compiling simple and faster*/

#ifndef calculations
#define calculations
int solved[5][5];
void initialize(int board[][5], int);
void slide(int board[][5],int move,int);
bool isBoardSolved(int board[][5],int);

C++ :: MFC Drawing Circle Instead Of Square

Found a good beginner's tutorial to learn Visual C++: [URL] ....

How to change the drawing so that instead of squares, the game draws circles. Can figure out that using Ellipse in the code results in circle outlines, but the fill remains as square color shapes.

The drawing code from the tutorial is below. How to substitute filled circles for filled squares.

Code:

// CSameGameView drawing
void CSameGameView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC){
// First get a pointer to the document
CSameGameDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

C++ ::  Drawing Rectangular Prism OpenGL

Oct 10, 2013

I am supposed to create a class of rectangular prism in opengl. I am having touble in writing my "draw()" function.

I have searched the web, and lots of the sites have:

glBegin(GL_Quads);

glVertex3f(x,y,z);
glVertex3f(...);
glVertex3f(...);
glVertex3f(...);

3D coordinates for each face.

For my code, I am getting a value for lengths of x, y and z like "getXlength(x_length)" etc... I would like to know how I can use these values to draw the prism rather than giving values for each coordinates in each face.

C# :: Drawing Rectangle On Bitmap (Mandelbrot)

Nov 3, 2014

I've been given the task of converting a java application to a c# windows form application. The program displays a Mandelbrot which then allows the user to zoom into. I've managed to display the Mandelbrot and even zoom. However when dragging a box to zoom, the box its self doesn't show, meaning the user cannot see what area they will be zooming into.

I believe I need to call the update function which draws the rectangle as I drag however no matter what I try, I get errors from a red cross instead of the Mandelbrot to compile errors. Here is the code that I believe is relevant.

public void update(Graphics g) {
Color color = Color.White;
Pen myPen = new Pen(color);
g.DrawImage(myBitmap, 0, 0);
if (rectangle) {
