I need some quick help with code.

**stehigs321** · 10-27-2003

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int numlives = 5;
int score = 0;
int round = 1;

int main(void) {

  char name1[100]= {0};
  char name2[100]= {0};

   printf("Player one, what is your name?\n"); 
   scanf("%s", name1[100]);
   printf("Player two, what is your name?\n");
   scanf("%s", name2[100]);

Heres what i have so far. I dont think it works though. How do i print the names once they are stored in the array? I tried it and it printed them incorrectly.

is this how i would print the names??

Code:

printf("%s", name1[100]);
printf("%s", name2[100]);

Heres what i have so far thanks to all of your guys help. thanks again. This is how far i am. The things i need help with are labeled with ************* please help me with anythig you can You can see the problem in the first page of this posting.
thanks again

Code:

**Hammer** · 10-28-2003

This is still wrong:
>>scanf("%s", &name2);
see my example.

For this:
>>name = name1;
use strcpy().

**stehigs321** · 10-28-2003

I still have no idea how to use these things please help me.
i think im only allowed to use <stdio.h>.
unless its impossible to do this program wiyth just that.

**Hammer** · 10-28-2003

Using strcpy :

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
  char source[] = "my name";
  char target[100];
  strcpy (target, source);
  puts (source);
  puts (target);

  return(0);
}

I have no idea what any of that means. Could someone plese just look at the code i posted and there are only like 7 lines at most that i need help with. Please shoe me what i need to do. thanks so much. Its almost done. then i can stop pestering you guys. hehe jk

**Hammer** · 10-29-2003

>>I have no idea what any of that means.
puts() is simply a function that writes to the screen. Its the similar to using printf ("%s\n", somestringvar);

>>there are only like 7 lines at most that i need help with.
Fix the ones I have helped you with so far.

**stehigs321** · 10-29-2003

OK i have this now please help me on how to switch to player 2?
And any other errors you see. Thanks so much.

Code:

int score = 0;

int player1score = 0;
int player2lives = 5;
int player2turn = 0;
int player2score = 0;
int templives

void activeplayerstats(void);

int main(void) {

  char name1[100]= {0};
  char name2[100]= {0};

   printf("Player one, what is your name?\n");
        scanf("%s", &name1);
   printf("Player two, what is your name?\n");
        scanf("%s", &name2);
    strcpy(name1, name)
    round = player1turn;

    score = player1score; 

  while (player1lives>0 || player2lives>0);
    {
      if (numlives>0);
        {
         templives=numlives;

        }
      if (numlives=0)

         printf("Your Game is Over.\n");

              score, numlives);

**Morgan** · 10-29-2003

There are a few syntax errors...

int templives - missing semi-colon.

scanf( "%s", &name1 ); - remove &.
scanf( "%s", &name2 ); - remove &.
(name1 and name2 are arrays of char, which can be passed to scanf directly).

strcpy( name1, name ); - should be the other way around, the second variable is copied into the first...

if(numlives=0) - should be if(numlives==0), '=' sets the value of the right hand variable to be the same as the value of the left, '==' checks to see if the variables are the same value. I fell for this bug lots of times when I first started.

if / else / else statement is not properly bracketed. should be

Code:

if(player1score>player2score)
{
  printf("%s      %d points\n", name1, player1score);
  printf("%s      %d points\n", name2, player2score);
}
else
{
  printf("%s      %d points\n", name2, player2score);
  printf("%s      %d points\n", name1, player1score);
}

(can't see what the last else is for... )

printf( "%s %d points... - better as printf( "%s\t\t%d points... \t inserts a tab into the printout.

**Morgan** · 10-29-2003

Oh yeah... and

if(numlives>0);

is wrong too - lose the semi-colon.

**stehigs321** · 10-29-2003

Heres what i have almost finished!!
How do i switch from player 1 to player two after player one's turn. then switch back when player 2 is done??
Please help me figure this out guys. I put a spot where i think the code belongs. its labeled with **********

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
 
 char name[100] = {0};
 int numlives = 5;
 int score = 0;
 int round = 1;
 int player1lives = 5; 
 int player1turn = 0;
 int player1score = 0;
 int player2lives = 5;
 int player2turn = 0;
 int player2score = 0;
 int templives;
 
 void activeplayerstats(void);
 
 int main(void) {
 
   char name1[100]= {0};
   char name2[100]= {0};
 
    printf("Player one, what is your name?\n");
         scanf("%s", name1);
    printf("Player two, what is your name?\n");
         scanf("%s", name2);
     strcpy(name,name1); 
     round = player1turn;
     numlives = player1lives; 
     score = player1score;  
 
   while (player1lives>0 || player2lives>0) 
     {
       if (numlives>0)
         {
          templives=numlives;  
   playround(char name[], int* numlives, int* score, int round); 
         }
       if (numlives=0)
 
          printf("Your Game is Over.\n");
 
   activeplayerstats();   // See below. 
       if (numlives < templives) {
 
          switch to other player  ************
       ;}
      }
   printf("Here are the final standings:\n");
       if(player1score>player2score) 
       {
          printf("%s      %d points\n", name1, player1score);
          printf("%s      %d points\n", name2, player2score);
       }
       else 
       {
          printf("%s      %d points\n", name2, player2score);
          printf("%s      %d points\n", name1, player1score);
        }
                 
 }
 
   void activeplayerstats(void)  {
       printf("%s, you now have %d points and %d lives left.\n", name,
               score, numlives);

**WaltP** · 10-29-2003

To make it easy to switch from player 1 to 2, you should put all the variables that deal with each player in an array.

Instead of defining:

Code:

int player1lives = 5; 
int player1turn = 0;
int player1score = 0;
int player2lives = 5;
int player2turn = 0;
int player2score = 0;

change the deinitions to:

Code:

int playerlives[2] = {5,5}; 
int playerturn[2] = {0,0};
int playerscore[2] = {0,0};
int currentPlayer;

This way when currentPlayer is 0, you reference the lives of player 1 with playerlives[currentPlayer]

change to player 2 by setting currentPlayer to 1

Also, with all the changes you've made, you should really compile and test your code AS you write it, don't wait until you finish the program and try to fix all the syntax errors.
Add a small piece at a time, compile, repeat.
