2 games by woh else...

Hey guys check out the 2 game my groups have done.. One is the snake and the other is called cow n bull.. Extract all the files then run .. or else the prog wont work.. Snake is the normal snake game.. Cow n bull is where u guess the number till u arrive at the correct one


if the secret number is 123

if you enter 456 you will get 0 cow o bull
156 1 bull 0 cow since 1 is there
516 1 cow 0 bull.. since 1 is there but not in same position
123 3 bull 0 cow and u win the game.. Hope u can figure it out

and note that you cannot enter 0 and numbers which repeat like 111 or 113 or 313 etc etc


Post your coments to improve the 2 games...

Bye

nice

Why didnt you include the source

had one little problem....

Why didnt the snake move by itself?

yeh, kinda nice

Yes thats the problem.. I am not able to make the snake move by itself.. It comes to getch() and waits for the arraow key input.. How do i solve this.. Please help me.......

Well if your "get player move func is like this:

Code:

void change_location ( const char modex, const char modey )
{
  grid[x][y] = CLEAR;
  if ( modex == '+' )      x++;
  else if ( modex == '-' ) x--;
  if ( modey == '+' )      y++;
  else if ( modey == '-' ) y--;
  grid[x][y] = FILL;
}
.
.
.
switch ( move ) {
case UP:    change_location ( 0, '-' ); break;
case DOWN:  change_location ( 0, '+' ); break;
case LEFT:  change_location ( '-', 0 ); break;
case RIGHT: change_location ( '+', 0 ); break;
default:
  perror ( "Invalid input" );
}

ten it would go like this:

Code:

for ( ; ; ) {
  if ( direction == x )
    change_location ( change, 0 );
  else
    change_location ( 0, change );
  pause_for_input ( &move );
  switch ( move ) {
  case LEFT:  
    change_location ( '-', 0 );
    direction = ( direction == x ) ? y : x;
    break;
  case RIGHT: 
    change_location ( '+', 0 );
    direction = ( direction == x ) ? y : x;
    break;
  }
  /* Reset change so that direction
  ** is incremented or decremented
  ** accordingly
  */
}

Thanks to Prelude for showing me this excellent method.

um... in other words...

You need to make a loop the would increase the grid position but delay it between movements.

look at using kbhit()

This will return true if the key board has been hit, then you can use getch to detect which key it is

if( kbhit() )
{
//get the char here using getch()
//change snake direction if necessary
}
//now move the snake based on the direction


well that is what i would do
post your source if you need help using kbhit

Ok guys here is the new updated snake game that moves on its own etc etc ttc....... Try it out

i have the same problems,

Well i have solved the problem of making the snake move.. CHack out my last attachement.. snake.zip
