Thread: Developing a C program - Pokemon

Hi,can anyone help me to develop a C program?This project is quite challenging for me and i have tried to figure it out for so many times but i still could not make it.

You are required to create a Pokemon Game Simulator (you may use other characters). In the game, player will be given a number of pokeball that will be used to capture as many pokemon as they can. After all the pokeball have been used up, the number of pokemon successfully captured will be displayed on the screen.

Your game simulator should have the following features & functions :
-Provide player the number of object (such as pokeball).
-Spawn the characters randomly (minimum five characters).
-Set the encounter rate and capture rate randomly (the result will be different every
time the program run).
-Able to calculate and display the total number of characters captured.
-Able to display the number of captures for every single character.

Thanks in advance😁

ok,there is something i could not get it.Can rand() be used in fixed string?For example, i declare 3 string:
"eevee","combusken" and "rattata".i want them to be randomly displayed.How can i do this?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include
<stdlib.h>
int main
{
char pokemon[10] = {eevee,combusken,rattata}  

printf("Wild %s appeared.", pokemon, rand())

return 0;
}

Thanks a lot.Is there any problem with my coding, how come i could not run the program?

create a string

Code:

char *s="this is a string";

create a string array

Code:

char *str[]={ "first", "second string", "third" };

print a (random) string of a string array of size 3

Code:

int n; n = rand() % 3;
printf("print a string %s\n", str[ n ] );

thanks,i get it now 😁😃

how about if i wanna display a condition randomly?

Code:

char capture_rate[10] = {"capture","miss"};
if (capture_rate =="capture")
printf("Gotcha!The pokemon was caught.\n");
else if(capture_rate=="miss")
printf("Oh no!The pokemon broke free.Press enter to continue.\n");
else
printf("The pokemon escaped already.Press enter to continue.\n");

int N;
N = rand()%2;
printf("",capture_rate);

i know there's something wrong with my coding, but i just don know how to correct it.can anyone there help me to correct it? thanks in advance.
there's another thing keep confusing me,is there any way to allow user to press enter to continue other than put a scanf("") line below the printf("")line as i don need to prompt and get from user.

is there any wrong to ask something i don understand?im just learning this subject for two months.i have just learnt some basic skills.isn't this forum a learning space for beginners?im pretty sure that you are an expert for c programming,but what you did is mocking beginners,instead of guiding them.
>Go read au1064's post again.
i read again and again.i tried to start my coding and
i found my doubts then i tried to ask.does it wrong for me to do this?

Code:

 char capture_rate[10]

This will make only one string with 10 characters (or better with 9 characters and one trailing zero)

ps.
if you want a correct and polite response, it is much better to ask a specific question about only one specific problem. nobody wants to go back to school and do the homework part again.

Thanks for your explanation.

Code:

int N;
N = rand()%2;

i know that a condition is different from string.May i know how to randomly display two conditions?
Sorry for any inconvenience caused for you.

Your question has partially been answered, but to give you some hints on how to approach whatever you want to do:

1. You should probably write some kind of function that returns a random number (integer in your case) given the limit (or size of your array).

2. I would probably define the size of an array as a macro. Then you will be able to return it quite easily without writing out pencil-length statements.

3. You initialize your array incorrectly. If you don't want to change your values, you should use something like

Code:

const char *capture_rate[2] = {"capture", "miss"};

4. You would have to use some kind of control structure that prints your array value given that index (which is a random integer).

Remember that copying won't really help you learn what's going on. In that case, you are missing out on some great and fun concepts and ideas. Get a book, watch videos / tutorials and learn the material. It's really worth it.

Thanks for your advice.
