I'm having a hard time making one. I'm just a noobie and I really need help. I have no idea what functions to make, and what libraries to include.
To specify it further, firstly, I need to know how to make a letter fall in the screen.
Like the conventional typing game, I need to type correctly what's falling in the screen. Do I need to use Gotoxy?
Thanks for the help!
>> I'm having a hard time making one.
Understandable. But have you made an effort? What code have you got so far?
There are a number of ways you could solve this problem. The best way to get a start is to think about it for a while. Write some pseudo-code and think about the best approach to tackle the problem.Quote:

What features do you want the game to have ? start with the ones you are confident about. Write some code, ask for help when you get stuck.
Again, there are a number of ways you could solve this. It will most definitely be more trickier using just the simple console window but it can easily be done. If you think you need to use gotoxy, try it out and see how far you get. Once you start typing it out, you'll soon realize that it wasn't as hard as you thought it would be.Quote:

to be honest, I don't have a single code. Just give me some ideas and the rest is all mine.
Like I said, start with what you know and write some code. The ideas will come to you automatically.Quote:

So I've made this code for a letter falling down. But my problem is how can I make this code shorter and instead of falling down to the same line, making a sort of a random fall?Code:#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <mp.h>
int main()
{
gotoxy(40,0);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,1);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,2);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,3);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,4);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,5);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,6);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,7);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,8);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,9);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,10);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,11);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,12);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,13);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,14);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,15);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,16);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,17);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,18);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,19);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,20);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,21);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,22);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,23);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,24);
printf("A");
delay(500);
clrscr();
gotoxy(40,25);
printf("A");
delay(500);
getch();
}
Btw, mp.h is a self defined library.
Wow, thats a long fall!
It would much be better if you would use loops instead of doing it manually -
for example, here is some pseudo code -
Code:int x = 40;
int y = 0;
char letter = 'A';
while(still on screen)
{
clear screen;
goto x,y;
increment y;
print letter;
delay;
}
Looks a lot like this 'game' as well.

I've already worked it out. Next problem now is after the letter reaches the bottom of the screen how will I be able to start the loop all over again?Code:#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <mp.h>
int main()
{
int x = pickRandom(0,79);
int y = 0;
do
{
gotoxy(x,y++);
printf("A");
delay(100);
clrscr();
}
while(y <= 24);
getch();
}
