Planet Invaders
This is a very simple game and is totally depended on luck. I did not make it in C or C++ but rather in VB.
Visual Basic is much easier to make than C or C++. I know it is not as powerful but, what the heck, it is so easy. Anyidiot could learn it in a couple days (the basics)
Download the game
vb is almost like iostream in c++
Your link didn't work.
I started with VB, too ( back in the dark ages.... :) ). If you really want to get a good handle on C++, rewrite your VB game in C++. You already know the logic required, you just need to work out the proper syntax.
i dunno. my link should work.itried it from another pc and it did work...
when u click on the link, it will automatically ask either of the following:
- "Open from current location" or "Save to disk"
- the location where you want to save it to...
you have to dwnld it first.
anyway i dont know anything about c or c++. Heck i dont even have the program... i just uploaded the file, it doesnt have to be c++ right?
My first language was HTML...
But as far as Programming goes...
It was Quick Basic. EASY AS CRAP!!:p
What's the Username/Password for that link?
ok. try this link...

this one should work. Post a msg if that one doesn't work or asks for username/password.
Nope, you still need a password :(
how big is the file, anyway? if it's not that big, (which it shouldn't be) just attach it to ur reply
it was a ".exe" file, so i could not attach it. but i zipped it and here it is - attached.
(you need winzip)
Actually, WinRAR will also work for extracting *.zip files, and to link to a *.exe, just upload it to a website.
I know how to download a file. I also know to download it to play it. This is what I got from your link (the original *.exe).Quote:

Downloaded the *.zip. I'm guessing you used a random number generator to set the number of troops you can deploy each turn (would have been cool to choose the number of troops to deploy and then have a random number generator use that number as a seed to determine damage). What is the purpose of the big blue square that just sits there on the right side of the screen?
You got it... i did use a random number generator, but still, it is not exactly a random number - thats the problem with VB, it has two strings of random numbers each. So it is one string or the other.Quote:

The big blue square has no real purpose... i just used it to fill up the space that was empty. lolQuote:

that game is totally depending on luck. make something that uses some skill
i know. I am working on a game where a person uses his/her knowledge to win the game. i will post it later.
Me and my friend were just sitting there playing it for like 5 minutes. Although its all luck, I think its a good start at getting your window organized and such (which is better that me).

thanks. it is my first game...
i hope my next one would be much better.
