Ascii charecter to integer

[DuckCowMooQuack]

I have a bowling program that runs right now with numbers. I want to change spares and strikes to /s and Xs. How would you go about handling this problem? Where should I start?

Below is the bowling program...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()

{

FILE *ifp;

int N, x;
char fname[21];

printf("Enter the filename: ");

scanf("%s", fname);

//Open

ifp = fopen(fname, "r");

//If no file

if (ifp == NULL)

{

  printf("Error, %s not available\n", fname);

  exit(1);
}

 
   int scores[22];
   int i, y;   

//Array storage

   for(i = 0; i<22; ++i)
   {
     fscanf( ifp, "%d", &y);
     if(y == -1)
     {
     scores[i] = y;
     break;
     }
     scores[i] = y;
   }
int howmany;
howmany = i;

//Prints SUM

i = 0;
int c=0;
while(scores[i] != -1)
   {
   c = scores[i] + c;
   ++i;
   }
   
printf("SUM: %d\n\n",c);
printf("N = %d\n", howmany);
printf("----------------------\n");



int f,e,total;

y = 0;
e = 0;
total = 0;

//Scores total with strike, spare rules

for (y=0;y<22;y++)
   {

if(scores[e] == 10)
   {
   total = total + 10 + scores[e+1] + scores[e+2];
   printf("Frame %2d: Total %2d\n",y+1, total);
   e = e + 1;
   printf("STRIKE!\n");
   }
else if(scores[e] + scores[e+1] == 10)
   {
   total = total + 10 + scores[e+2];
   printf("Frame %2d: Total %2d\n",y+1, total);
   e = e + 2;
   printf("SPARE!\n");
   }
else if(scores[e] == -1)
   { 
   printf("----------------------\n");
   printf("Your final score is: %2d", total);
   break;
   }
else
   {
   total = total + scores[e] + scores[e+1];
   printf("Frame %2d: Total %2d\n",y+1, total);
   e = e + 2;
   }
   }

return 0;

}

And here is the file the program reads from...

10 10 10 1 0 1 9 2 2 1 6 3 2 10 1 2  -1

Why not make the output of your program, look just like a score sheet in bowling?

In fact, if I were going to do it, I'd get a score sheet to make sure my output was just what every bowler expects to see (within the limitations of a console terminal).


You can print all kinds of char's if you take a look at the character set your operating system and BIOS is using. Downloading an ascii table might be a good place to start, but surely you know how to print up a horizontal and vertical line, an X and a /, already.

You will probably want to use SetConsoleCursorPosition() if you're on Windows, unless you have conio.h support in your compiler.
