Thread: My first game!!!!

Just to be a bit more contsructive, try this:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

int loop()
{
	int a;
	char b, c;

	cin>> b;
	a = int(b);
	
	cout<<a<<endl;
	a<<=1;			// bitshift with 1 to left
	cout<<a<<endl;
	a>>=1;			// bitschift with 1 to right
	cout<<a<<endl;
	
	c = char(a);
	cout<<c<<endl;

	loop();
	return 0;
}

int main()
{
	loop();
	return 0;
}

if for example, you type "g", that reads 103, when you bitshift 103 1 to the left, you get 206. If you bitshift 206 back 1 to the right, you get 103 again, which is "g".

So what you do is, when saving, bitshift every character you write to the file, to the left or the right by a certain amount. In the case of a "g" you would get 206. That's what you write to the file. So you only end up with numbers. When you then load the file, you do the same thing, but in the other direction and you end up with a "g" again. May take some time, but nobody will understand what the file contains.

im not sure, but it think when you pick up the old lady you don't actually get the 15 exp.... i just looked at my stats (i had 345 exp) then explored, picked up the lady, but i still only had 345 exp

also... when you ask questions such as "do you wish to drink it?" (the potion) you should give a format for the answer. so it would look like "do you wish to drink it? (yes or no) " i had a problem at first trying to figure out what you wanted there.

try applying this to the save-files (youll have to modify it, though)
#include <io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
int i, j = 0;
int key_length;
int fh_in, fh_out;
long buffer_length;
long bytes_read = 0, file_length;
char in_buf[65536], out_buf[65536];
char infile[256], outfile[256];
char key[64] = {0};

cout << "SRC: ";
cin.getline(infile, 256, '\n');
cout << "DST: ";
cin.getline(outfile, 256, '\n');
cout << "PSW: ";
cin.getline(key, 64, '\n');

fh_in = open(infile, O_BINARY | O_RDONLY);
fh_out = open(outfile, O_BINARY | O_WRONLY | O_CREAT);

file_length = filelength(fh_in);

for (i = 63; i > 0; i--) if (key[i] == 0) key_length = i;

while (!eof(fh_in))
{
buffer_length = file_length - bytes_read;
if (buffer_length > 65536) buffer_length = 65536;

read(fh_in, in_buf, buffer_length);

for (i = 0; i < buffer_length; i++)
{
out_buf[i] = in_buf[i] ^ key[j];
j++;
if (j == key_length) j = 0;
}

write(fh_out, out_buf, buffer_length);

bytes_read += buffer_length;
}

close(fh_in);
close(fh_out);
}

Thanks for sharing your opinions with me people!

I'll try and fix those bugs that you encountered...

Oh and big thanks for showing me the encryption thing Mbrio!

Yeah i know it became a bit large =)

hehe =) Anyone who has seen "The Matrix" knows what this is:

So when is the next update going to be? I found the game to be quite fun

Make a map of the area and display it on the screen in a simple form.

Hey Paro: I'm using Dev C++ which has its own headers and i have also made my own header so you wont be able to compile it.

And to blackwyvern: That sounds hard =(

btw 500+ views!!!!
