ascii rpg help

aaron11193 · 10-27-2006, 04:20 AM

hey i am making an rpg ascii game and my switches arent working even if i change them to ifs...... plz help

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

/*Gets user's answer to a question*/
int get_chioce( void ){
	int choice;
	printf("?:: ");
	scanf("%d", &choice);
	return( choice );
}

void show_stats( hp, tired ){
	printf("\n::Stats::\n|%d HP|\n|%d Awake|\n", hp, tired);
}

void adventure_begin( void ){
	char name[10];
	int choice;
	int timeh = 8;
	int timem = 0;
	int timemm = 5;
	char ampm[2];
	ampm[1] = 'a';
	ampm[2] = 'm';
	printf("\nWhat is your name?\n?:");
	scanf("%s", &name);
	printf("Ok, your name is %s.\n", name);
	printf("You are 25 and live by yourself in a 1 bedroom house\n");
	printf("\n|%d:%d%d%s\n|Sunday\n|Bedroom\n|Sleeping...\n\n", timeh, timem, timemm, ampm);
	printf("Adventure begins on a Sunday morning...\n");
	printf("1.Get up\n");
	get_chioce();
	if( choice=1 ){
		adventure_1( name );
	}
}

int adventure_1( name ){
	int timeh = 8;
	int timem = 2;
	int timemm = 5;
	char ampm[2];
	ampm[1] = 'a';
	ampm[2] = 'm';
	int choice;
	int hp = 100;
	int tired = 50;
	printf("\nYou are feeling a bit hungry. You have some cereal in your pantry.\n");
	printf("1.Korn Flayks\n2.Coco Pops\n3.All Bran\n4.Dont eat\n");
	get_chioce();
	switch( choice ){
		case 1: tired = tired + 30;
		break;
		case 2: tired = tired + 20;
		break;
		case 3: tired = tired + 50;
		break;
		case 4: printf("\nThat could cause some problems later %s..\n", name);
		break;
	}
	show_stats( hp, tired );	
}

main()
{

	int choice;

	printf("\n\nWelcome to ASCII Adventure!\n\n1.Play\n2.Exit\n");

	get_chioce();

	/*Begin Adventure*/
	switch( choice ){
		case 1: adventure_begin();
		break;
	}
}

im only 13 too so not too experienced in this:P

In particular you'll want to look a page six in Functions to solve your problem, but I like the whole thing.

swgh · 10-27-2006, 05:00 AM

Are you getting errors warnings? What is it exactly they are not doing right, in this case it would be a logical error. Oh, and main() should return an int

quzah · 10-27-2006, 05:15 AM

When you call get_choice, you don't actually store your return value in choice. You want something like:

Code:

choice = get_choice();

Or just...

Code:

switch( get_choice() )

This here:

Code:

if( choice=1 ){

= is for assignment.
== is for equality.

Remember: Assign one thing. Compare two. Nice and simple.

> int get_chioce( void )
Maybe spelling, but so long as you're consistent with your inconsistency, it's OK.

> get_chioce();
You ignore the return result.
Maybe something like
choice = get_chioce();

> if( choice=1 )
Rookie mistake number 1, using = where == should be used.

> void show_stats( hp, tired )
You should really have some types in here, like
void show_stats( int hp, int tired )
This is in several places.

> ampm[1] = 'a';
> ampm[2] = 'm';
> int choice;
C doesn't allow mixed declarations and statements (though C99 does).
Which compiler are you using? Are you compiling as C++ perhaps?

> scanf("%s", &name);
You don't need the & when using %s and a char array.

ZuK · 10-27-2006, 05:18 AM

In main you do call get_chioce() but you ignore the return-value.
The following switch operates on an uninitialized variable.
Kurt
Edit: that was too slow.

aaron11193 · 10-27-2006, 05:18 PM

hey thanks for all the help and tips its working fine now

ill email anyone the finished product when i finish it if they want but you have to compile it yourself unless you use Linux
aaron

aaron11193 · 10-27-2006, 05:28 PM

can anyone help me with header files...
i need to make this into a header file for the game

Code:

void show_time( timehh, timeh, timem, timemm ){
	printf("\n|%d%d:%d%d|\n", timehh, timeh, timem, timemm );
}

void show_stats( hp, tired, cash, karma ){
	printf("\n::Stats::\n|%d HP|\n|%d Awake|\n|$%d Cash|\n|Karma %d|\n", hp, tired, cash, karma);
}

int get_choice( void ){
	int choice;
	printf("?:: ");
	scanf("%d", &choice);
	return( choice );
}

i did it before but when i tried to compile the game it sayd that the functions that i was calling(that were it the header file) were undefined....
thx

quzah · 10-27-2006, 06:58 PM

You don't usually put functions in a header file. You put them in their own file, and prototype them in a header file. Then you include that header wherever you need to call those functions. So in this case, we have 3 files. The file the code is in. The file the prototypes (and extern variables) are in (or referred to). The file using the stuff mentioned in the header.

Adding to salems comment.
You should compile a little more often. The compiler would tell you that such things

Code:

int show_stats( hp, tired, cash, karma ){

are not legal in c. You need to supply the type of the parameters.
Kurt

**Salem** · 10-28-2006, 06:35 AM

He's probably compiling with some brain-dead fossil compiler like turbo-c which silently declares everything as int. Which was perfectly valid C - about 20 years ago!

Just another "works for me" type who's happy so long as it works rather than actually bothering to learn how to do it properly.

aaron11193 · 10-28-2006, 08:35 PM

hey i tried putting types in the parameters and it gave me some errors about wrong types or something when i had char..
eg..

Code:

int show_time_menu( char name, int hp, int tired, int karma, int cash, int timehh, int timeh, int timem, int timemm ){
	if( timeh >= 10 ){
		timeh = timeh - 10;
		timehh = timehh + 1;
	}
	printf("\n|%d%d:%d%d|\n", timehh, timeh, timem, timemm);
	menu( name, hp, tired, karma, cash, timehh, timeh, timem, timemm );
}

this would give errors....

aaron11193 · 10-28-2006, 10:51 PM

BIG problem here.... i made a linux executable of the game and accidentally deleted the source file and the game still has a few bugs......
is there any way of extracting the source from the executable??
PLZ HELP!!!

You want something like: Code: choice = get_choice(); Or just... Code: switch( get_choice() ) This here: Code: if( choice=1 ){ = is for assignment. == is for equality. Remember: Assign one thing. Compare two. Nice and simple. Quzah. __________________ Hundreds of thousands of dipshits can't be wrong. Are you up for the suck? Last edited by quzah; 10-27-2006 at 05:18 AM.

aaron11193 Registered User Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 13	can anyone help me with header files... i need to make this into a header file for the game Code: void show_time( timehh, timeh, timem, timemm ){ printf("\n\|%d%d:%d%d\|\n", timehh, timeh, timem, timemm ); } void show_stats( hp, tired, cash, karma ){ printf("\n::Stats::\n\|%d HP\|\n\|%d Awake\|\n\|$%d Cash\|\n\|Karma %d\|\n", hp, tired, cash, karma); } int get_choice( void ){ int choice; printf("?:: "); scanf("%d", &choice); return( choice ); } i did it before but when i tried to compile the game it sayd that the functions that i was calling(that were it the header file) were undefined.... thx Last edited by aaron11193; 10-27-2006 at 05:32 PM.

Then you include that header wherever you need to call those functions. So in this case, we have 3 files. The file the code is in. The file the prototypes (and extern variables) are in (or referred to). The file using the stuff mentioned in the header. Quzah. __________________ Hundreds of thousands of dipshits can't be wrong.

Salem and the hat of Jobseeking Join Date: Aug 2001 Location: The edge of the known universe Posts: 21,705	He's probably compiling with some brain-dead fossil compiler like turbo-c which silently declares everything as int. Which was perfectly valid C - about 20 years ago! Just another "works for me" type who's happy so long as it works rather than actually bothering to learn how to do it properly. __________________ If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
