Thread: Stuck on how to proceed with battleship program

Code:

#include <time.h>


void initgame();
void battleship();
void loadships(char board[], char mask[]);
void drawgame(char mask[], int missilesFired, int missilesRemaining, int score, char previousMove[]);
void updateData(char board[], char mask[], int *missilesFired, int *missilesRemaining,
    int *score, char previousMove[], char currentMove[]);
int checkMove(char coord[]);


int main(){


    battleship();
    return 0;
}


void initgame()


{
    char mask[391];
    int i = 0, j = 0;
    for (i = 0; i<390; i++) {
        mask[i] = '~';
    }
    mask[i] = '\0'; /* add the null byte to use as a string if required */




    char board[391];


    for (i = 0; i<390; i++) {
        board[i] = '~';
    }
    board[i] = '\0'; /* add the null byte to use as a string if required */


    loadships(board, mask);




}


void battleship(){
    
    int missfire = 0;
    int missrem = 100;
    int score = 0;
    char prevmove;








    initgame();
    drawgame();


}


void loadships(char board[], char mask[]){
    
    srand(time(NULL));
    int i = 0,place=0;
    char carrier[8] = "[ccccc=>";
    char destroyer[6] = "[DDD=>";
    int randomR = (rand() % 14) + 1;
    int randomC = (rand() % 25) + 1;


    place = randomR * 26 + randomC;


    for (i = 0; i < 8;i++){
        board[place + i] = carrier[i];
    }


}


void drawgame(char mask[], int missilesFired, int missilesRemaining, int score, char previousMove[]) {
    int i = 0;
    int j = 0;
    printf("   C Battleship...\n");
    printf("   ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\n");
    for (i = 0; i<15; i++) {                /* display 15 rows of information (incl. border) */
        if (i < 9) {
            printf(" %c|", i + 1 + '0');   /* for each digit character */
        }
        else {
            printf(" %c|", i + 1 + 55);    /* for each alphabetic character 'A' through 'F' */
        }
        for (j = 0; j<26; j++) {             /* display all 26 columns in each row */
            printf("%c", mask[j + (i * 26)]);
        }
        printf("|\n");
    }
        printf("\n");


}

basically i loaded 1 ship for now add rest later... once ive updated the board array with the load ships function i need to take the board array updated and place into drawboard function somehow or at least i think it progresses like this

Nice code. Care to explain how you got stuck? You should be able to tell us what the problem is and what you want to do, at least.
