User Input and File Handling
In my game I am trying to get the user to type in his/her name and write the name and score into a file.
Here is some of what I have
Code:
void GetName()
{
newname[0] = ' ';
length = 0;
clear_keybuf();
while(!key[KEY_ENTER])
{
clear_bitmap(buffer);
blit((BITMAP*)data[newscore].dat, buffer, 0, 0, 155, 100, 333, 204);
if(keypressed())
{
ch = readkey() & 0x00ff;
if(length < 20)
{
newname[length + 1] = ' ';
newname[length] = ch;
length++;
}
}
if(key[KEY_BACKSPACE] && length > 0)
{
newname[length - 1] = ' ';
length--;
}
if(key[KEY_SPACE])
{
newname[length + 1] = ' ';
newname[length] = '_';
}
textout_centre(buffer, font, newname, 320, 188, -1);
blit(buffer, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, 640, 480);
}
score10 = score9;
score9 = score8;
score8 = score7;
score7 = score6;
score6 = score5;
score5 = score4;
score4 = score3;
score3 = score2;
score2 = score1;
score1 = score;
name10 = name9;
name9 = name8;
name8 = name7;
name7 = name6;
name6 = name5;
name5 = name4;
name4 = name3;
name3 = name2;
name2 = name1;
name1 = newname;
ofstream fout;
fout.open("HSL.dat");
fout << name1 << endl;
fout << score1 << endl;
fout << name2 << endl;
fout << score2 << endl;
fout << name3 << endl;
fout << score3 << endl;
fout << name4 << endl;
fout << score4 << endl;
fout << name5 << endl;
fout << score5 << endl;
fout << name6 << endl;
fout << score6 << endl;
fout << name7 << endl;
fout << score7 << endl;
fout << name8 << endl;
fout << score8 << endl;
fout << name9 << endl;
fout << score9 << endl;
fout << name10 << endl;
fout << score10 << endl;
fout.close();
HighScore();
}
Now it doesnt put info into the file like it should. And if the user types nothing it messes up everything.
I use Allegro with Dev-C++, If you see anything I am doing wrong plese let me know.
