Game Of Life

hi all
Im a new person here and probably quite new in c programming.
I just want to ask some help.
Everyone here have heard about this game before??
Does anyone have try to code this program??
Can I see the code??

All code can be sent to [email protected]
This is my first project and I'm still cannot understand the implementation of an array 2d.....
Hope you guys all can help a little bit..

Thx all.

If this is homework, try to do it yourself first. If this isn't homework, try to do it yourself first. If you get stuck, post your code.

Also, try google. Here's a wonderful link, too:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

A 2D array is like a 1D array, except it has two dimensions. :P

Code:

---

int array[30][30];

---

You can access each element using array[x][y]. So define an array, initialise it to a state representing "dead" cells, then put a few "live" cells in. Then iterate through the array and apply the Game of Life rules to it. You may need to keep two copies of the array, because the next iteration of game of life needs each cell to know about the previous state, and your calculations will clobber the old state.

Yes

No

Yeah right!
Do your own fsking homework next time.
Anyone too dumb to type in "game of life source code" into google deserves to fail miserably.

Hahaha.....I actually have wrote a quite long code for the interface. And now I have to make the array board. it quite suceesful actually but the problem is everytime I run the part of the array, there is some unneccesary symbol appear in my array...

I actually ask for the code only for the reference..the is no way im going to use it to be sent to my lecture.... learning C from example is more understandable than read the whole book about the sintaks....

> everytime I run the part of the array, there is some unneccesary symbol appear in my array
So post it, and then perhaps we can tell you where you're going wrong.

> I actually ask for the code only for the reference
Looking at other peoples code no more teaches you C than reading a book does. Chances are, the C code is a worse example than a decent book.

Find examples of source code using Google and try to understand them. After that, translate one into C and see what you get.

This Google search produced some good results:

as evidenced here :)

Din1983, edit your post to remove your e-mail address. As Salem has pointed out (in his usual manner) nobody is going to e-mail stuff to you: firstly it defeats the object of having a forum and secondly it's not the way this board operates. The only thing you will get is spam once a spambot harvests your address. This will only be a matter of time.

Salem, you should also edit your post to remove his e-mail address for the same reason.

The weird symbol ..... I already get rip off it.... and now im implement the code for program generate the next generation.... I think this is the most critical part of it...

Question: can I use this kind of code in C array ??

Code:

---

for(x=1;x<9;x++){
    for(y=1;y<9;y++){
          if (cell [x] [y+1] == '*')
              counter ++;
          if(cell [x] [y-1] == '*')
                counter ++;
          ...........and so on......
        }
  }

---

Yes you can.

Is that code mean ..... the counter is added when the condition is true right??
Anyone have a good code to show??

Post your actual code.

Code snippets containing a few statements and then "...........and so on......" just don't cut it, and won't get other people to finish the code for you.

Alright...sory for that...

Code:

---

int counter()
{
for (x=1;x<9;x++){
      for (y=1;y<9;y++){
      if (cell [x+1][y+1] =='*')
              counter++;
      if (cell[x+1][y] =='*')
              counter++;
      if (cell[x+1][y-1] =='*')
              counter++;
      if (cell[x][y-1] =='*')
              counter++;
      if (cell[x-1][y-1] =='*')
              counter++;
      if (cell[x-1][y] =='*')
              counter++;
      if (cell[x-1][y+1] =='*')
              counter++;
      if (cell[x][y+1] =='*')
              counter++;
     
          }
    }
    return counter;
}

---

Any mistake in this code??

> counter++;
Well did you compile it?
For a start, this is also the name of your function, so the chance that it will compile is zero.

> cell [x+1][y+1]
How did you define the cell array - you need at least 10x10
You also need to make sure the strip of cells around the perimeter are initialised to say zero.

This is my full code for the program so far.... it is not quite complete actually... and I do hope someone can understand it and try to find the error for me....

This game consist of 2 gameplay call Machine destiny Game and Human destiny Game.... In machine game the pattern of the cell is generate randomly but in the human game the user can define their own pattern...

The problem might be with the array and also function call...I think I might need to study more on it....here is the long code...the longest code I ever wrote...hehehe....

Please help me with this .... it really mean a lot to me...thank you so much...

Sorry but it's kinda hard to understand the function names.

:( :( :( :(

it is....poor me....but its ok..thx for everything that you have done...

Question: in this game, the pattern of cell are created in one function. in other function, I want to count the neighbour of the cell based on the cell pattern that already create before. so what is the sintaks for my function to count the cell neighbour??I still cannot understand how the function is going to retrieve the cell pattern created and use it in that function.....

it is like this....

Code:

---

void create_pattern ( char cell[x][y] );
int count_neighbour ( char cell[x][y] );

---

OK, the problem you have is that you're not passing the cell arrays defined in main() from one function to another.

Here's an example

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

#define SIZE  9

void generate ( int cell[SIZE][SIZE] );
void print ( int cell[SIZE][SIZE] );

int main(void) {
  int board[SIZE][SIZE] = { { 0 } };
  generate ( board );
  print ( board );
  return 0;
}

void generate ( int cell[SIZE][SIZE] ) {
  cell[5][5] = 5;
}

void print ( int cell[SIZE][SIZE] ) {
  printf( "%d\n", cell[5][5] );
}

---

So you should just have the old and new generations defined in main(), and the rest of the functions should get visibility of those arrays by passing them around as parameters. Because all arrays are passed as pointers, modifications to the arrays in one function (eg. generate) will be visible in another (eg. print)

Code:

This is the latest coding for my Game of life. I think this one is more manageable and if you still remember the variable I use in my last coding.... I hope you can still understand this coding.... I really hope so... :).....

The problem is there is some kind of run time error when the program try to replace the first generation with the second generation and so on..... maybe there some kind of coding error that I have done... especially at here......

Code:

---

board1[r][c] = board2[r][c];

---

or maybe at the other function..... Hope someone can help a little....

> board1[r][c] = board2[r][c];
You're trying to copy one board to another, yet this only copies a single cell (note that r,c are uninitialised as well).

This is one way of copying the whole board in one easy step (C doesn't have an array assignment operator)

Code:

---

memcpy ( &board1[0][0], &board2[0][0], sizeof board1 );

---

Code:

---

int kira_jiran(int row, int col){
        int jiran;
        char sel[MAXROW][MAXCOL];

---

1. Initialise your count to 0 before you start adding
2. pass the sel array as a parameter, you're just counting uninitialised junk in a local array with an uninitialised counter.

> for ( row = 0; row < 9; row++ )
for ( row = 0; row < MAXROW; row++ )
Same for all your other loops, use the appropriate defined constant to limit the loop, not some magic number.

Code:

---

        sel[0][1]='1';
          sel[0][2]='2';
          sel[0][3]='3';
etc etc

---

I don't get this - I thought cells were either ' ' for empty or '*' for alive.

Not sure if you were just trying to explicitly show the addressing, but I'd have thought:

Code:

---

memcpy ( board1, board2, sizeof board1 );

---

would be cleaner to read.

OoO... I see... so for memcpy... both sintaks can be use and since I'm a beginner programmer, so the first post by Salem is more readable by me...

For sel[0][0] = ' ';

No more include in my program... because my first thought that I want to include some number in the table so that my lecture know whether the coordinat input by user is right or not.... So after thinking for a while, I have found a new ways to do that...

Here is my complete code for my Game of Life.... hope you guys all try to play it and have fun :)

Ah... forgot to ask....

How long have you guys all involve in programming???

If I want to advance to the next level, what should I learn in programming???

Which programming nowadays is better, C++ or Java and which one is more use by industri company??

Just asking something that is not related to C.... hope did not got scolded by board administrator......... :P
