[Game]Console War

First Application i made in c++
might be a bit buggy but i just started
learning 4 days ago im kinda n00b at it

its a simple game enter the number of a weapon
and it should atack

if you run out of hp sooner then the pc you lose
if the pc runs out of hp sooner then you you win
if you used all weapons and the pc stil has hp its draw

the damage of the weapons is random
but each weapon has different minimum
and maximum of damage it can deal

<renoved download cleariing traces>

Looks nice :), good work :).

To change background colour; I found this code:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

void SetColor(int ForgC, int BackC)
{
    WORD wColor = ((BackC & 0x0F) << 4) + (ForgC & 0x0F);;
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), wColor);   
    return;
}

---

Usage:
SetColor(1, 7); // foreground, background

I dont know what the max number is, but I saw the author using it upto 15.

-----

textbackground(BLUE);
works too, you will need the conio.h header file.

C And C++ - An Urgent Help Requierd Regarding Console Background Color | DreamInCode.net

thnx^^

but i just found a big bug type a letter instead
of a number and it starts looping 1 line of text over and over again
til the console is closed

thnx for the snippet but i already found a easyer way to add a background color

Code:

---

// first number sets background seccond number sets txt color
system("COLOR 21");
// numbers 0  to 9 and a,b,c,d,e,f

---

lol its kinda hard to ^^ lost 2 times

made a better version of it v1.1

I actually played the game now, was at school previously.

I must say, nice work, and good that you done it in C ;).

Bugs:
- I once didnt see how many health I lost, it just displayed the enemies health and said twice that I had to press a key.
- It says 'Enemy lost' and than Draw game. So the enemy didn't lose...and I couldnt view my own hitpoints.

Improvements (in my opinion):
- Only require users to press the number and than it will display both your and your enemies turn, so users dont have to tick the space bar twice ;). (use SDL? see bottom of my post)
- Game is quite hard, you use random values to calculate turns right? What random function do you use? Pseudo-random functions are not really random ;).

For improvement one, you can use SDL if you want. Its quite easy when it comes to user input and basic screen output. If you need some help with it, or a sample code, PM me ;)

But nice work, keep going ;)

c?? its c++:P
i dont think u like it if you see my messy code T_T

i use random numbers for the damage
when starting it puts random numbers in the aray of
of the player and npc damage

example
(dmg of weapon 2)
Sets player weapon dmg to 22
sets enemy weapon dmg to 17

if user inputs 2 select weapon 2
atack with weapon 2 :enemy's hp = 100 - 22 enemy has 78 hp left
select weapon 2 of enemy
enemy deals 17 damage

its like if you use weapon 2 enemy uses weapon 2


dont know how to explain:P
kinda hard for a beginner

i use (rand()%30)+4
but i dont rly understand how to use it

To get better random numbers, use this:

Code:

---

srand(time(0));

cout << rand() << endl;

---

If you ever outputted your rand() script, it will give the same values each time you run the program, but the numbers look random at first (which they are not).

C or C++, its for 98% the same thing ;), I mean if I say that you program in VB, you wouldn't say you programmed in VB6 instead of VB would you? ;)

Why don't you make it open-source? Than people can correct your errors/messyness even more ;)

oh 1 sec leme post my messy source:P

i think im goign to remake it from the ground up again if i watched the
other vids of c++ i still need to see^^

maybe you should add level like
easy hp 75
normal hp 100
hard hp 150
hope it give you new idea !

greetz passie

I think for easy you would need 150 hp and for hard 75 hp...lol. Else you have less chance to die in hard than in easy ^^

already working on a complete new one less messy

only need to find some way of generating a number
between 0 and 6 to make the enemy select a random weapon
instead of the same one the user selects^^

Code:

---

srand(time(0));

cout << (rand()%6) << endl;

---

srand(time(0));
sets random to generate a number based on time with a minimum of 0?


cout << (rand()%6) << endl;
outputs the other line with a max of 6?


sry i ask loads of questions
just want to know what they do instead of copy and paste
from copy and paste i wil learn nothing:P

Ah yes, sorry :). Good point, I thought you knew how it worked:

srand(); will set the seed for random numbers. We will base it on the time the application is running.

rand(); gets a random number, it could be anything (you can get the max number, but I forgot how...RAND_MAX or something).

The % operator is quite nice. It substracts the last number from the first one as long as the first number is not lower than the last one.

12%6 = 0 because 12 - 6 = 6, 6 - 6 = 0

13%6 = 1 because 13 - 6 = 7, 7 - 6 = 1 and is lower than 6

17%9 = 8 because 17 - 9 = 8 ;)

You get it? :)

So the output is always lower than the second value (after the % symbol).
rand()%6 will give you a random number from 0 to 5 ;).

yes i understad
thnx again ur helping me alot i rly appreciate it^^

i think you understand it wrong its the monsters hp not the player hp ^^

150 hp for hard would make the weapons overpowerd for 75 hp
