Thread: [HELP] Deal Or No Deal game.

The program you posted is fine, thank you sir - I'll try working on it to hide the values of the briefcases *if i can* ( they should only show up after I select a briefcase ) . everything else is pretty much working.

Little bug killer:

Replace the old top few lines in main with this:

Code:

int main(){
   long int a[MAXCASE]={0,1,2,5,10,25,50,75,100,200,300,400,500,750,1000,5000,
      10000,25000,50000,75000,100000,200000,300000,400000,500000,750000,1000000};
   long int bankerOffer,sum,divideBy;
   int isOpen[27];
   int remainingCase,choice,mainBriefcase,toChoose;
   char chchoice;

   int i,j,deal,roundNum,temp,youWon;

sum is now a long int, and there's a new variable "divideBy", that is also a long.

There is a bug in the bankerOffer calculation. This is the fix for it:

Code:

      printf("Now we'll see what the banker will offer. Here's the phone call now\a\a\a\n");
      sum=0;
      divideBy=0;
      for(i=1;i<MAXCASE;i++) {
         if(isOpen[i]==0) {
            sum+=a[i];
            divideBy++;
         }
      }
      bankerOffer = sum/divideBy;

and in the amount that you win when you make a deal, replace these lines, to fix a bug there:

Code:

      printf("Now the question to you is: Deal, or No Deal [y/n]: ");
      scanf(" %c",&chchoice);
      getchar();
      if(chchoice=='y' || chchoice=='Y') {
         deal=1;
         youWon=bankerOffer;
      }
   }

   printf("Thanks for playing Deal or No Deal ");
   if(deal==1) {
      printf("You won %ld", bankerOffer);
   }
   else {
      printf("You won : %ld", a[mainBriefcase]);

Most of the above lines are correct, but included so you can find where the correct lines of code go, inside the program.

Should be a simple copy and paste.

I thought for the display of the dollar amounts still remaining WITHOUT having their briefcases numbered, it could be done like this:

in showCases(), make a long int a2[MAXCASE], array. Then in a for loop from 1 to MAXCASE-1, copy the a[] array over to the a2 array.

Then sort the a2 array, (not the a[] array!), and display the a2 array, without the briefcase numbers, in sorted order.

Then below that, use a similar for loop to go through the isOpen[] array. Any isOpen[i] that == 0, should print that i number. That is a briefcase that still can be chosen, so print them out:

1 2 4 5 6 8 ... etc.

and it looks very much like the board on the game. Regrettably, no pretty girls holding the cases.
