Thread: inputting and checking

Basically i'm looking for how you can input two numbers which are then checked against a grid. if there is a mine in the co-ordinates you entered (3,3) for example the program ends. if not it continues and you type another two numbers and so on. here's what i have so far

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
char grid[12][12];
void display();
void intialise();
void place_1(int x1,int y1, char c);
main()
{
    printf("Welcome To Minesweeper \n");
    intialise();
    place_1(11,11,'x'); 
    printf("Enter 2 numbers: \n");
    scanf("%d, %d");
    system("PAUSE");
}

void display()
{
    int x,y;
    printf("\n");
    for (x=0;x<12;x=x+1)
    {
        for (y=0;y<12;y++)
        {
                printf("%c ",grid[x][y]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

void intialise()
{
    int x,y;
    for (x=0;x<12;x=x+1)
    {
        for (y=0;y<12;y++)
        {
                grid[x][y]='o';
        }
    }
}
void place_1(int x1,int y1, char c)
{
    grid[x1][y1]=c;
    display();
}

can anyone help?

I don't need anythingwriting i just need to know how to get the scanf fuction and that working really. basically if you type:

12
12

and there is no mine there (as previously set) then it will continue (i can add a message) but if there is a mine there then it will say game over and exit when you press any key.

If anyone can help or give me a few pointers please let me know.
cheers

hope this helps

if you have any questions, shoot.. (my C is better than my English so, if i was unclear..)

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAX 12
#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE 1

void display();
void intialise();
void placeMine(int x1,int y1, char c);

int grid[MAX][MAX];			/* FALSE: no mine, TRUE: mine */
int visible[MAX][MAX];			/* true when 'clicked' */

int main(void)
{
    printf("Welcome To Minesweeper \n");

    int x,y;		                /* user coords.. */

    intialise();			

    placeMine(11,11,'x'); 		/* this should become a minerandomiser */

    printf("Enter 2 numbers: \n");
    scanf("%d %d", &x, &y);

    visible[x][y] = TRUE;		/* 'clicked' on (x,y) */

    if(grid[x][y])		        /* if mine */
	printf("Game Over\n");
    else  
        display();				/* display grid */

    system("PAUSE");

    return 0;
}

void display()
{
    int i, j;

    printf("\n");

    for (i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {
       for (j = 0; j < MAX; j++) 
           if(!visible[i][j])
		printf("0");		
	   else if(grid[i][j])			/* if visible and mine */
		printf("X");
	   else 
		printf("_");
		/* write a function that calculates how many mines are next to mine[i][j], display this number (only when visible) */
        
       
       printf("\n");
    }
}

void intialise()
{
    int i, j;

    for (i = 0; i < 12; i++)
        for (j = 0; j < 12; j++){
           grid[i][j] = FALSE;			/* you should write a function that randomises the mines,.. */
	   visible[i][j] = FALSE;               
        }
}

void placeMine(int x,int y, char c)		/* this should become the randomise mine function */
{
    grid[x][y] = TRUE;			        /* mine is placed on (x,y) */
}

Hi thanks zuiplap but maybe i am doing something wrong as i can't get that to work

before you posted that code i was thinking maybe i could do something with If statments.

so if i define where the 10 mines are to be to start with say grid's (1,1) (3,4) etc...

then use if statments.

if 1,1 then game over
else if

but i don't really think that would work as the if stament would be massive and i don't know about C as i've not been doing it that long but i know with excel nested if statments were a nightmate.

It's ok i got the original code working.

I've changed it a bit but am struggaling on trying to put a loop in. so you have to keep guessing till you hit a mine. I've managed to get it to ask you a few times but if you hit a mine it still try's to continue. I've added another mine so i could try testing it and it worked.

Whats the best way to make it continue till you hit a mine?

I tried adding another system function in with an if statment so that if it did hit a mine in it would exit but i could not seem to get this to work. any ideas?

basically i'm trying to add a loop below this bit of code

Code:

  intialise();			

    placeMine(11,11,'x'); 		
    placeMine(10,11,'x'); 

    printf("Enter 2 numbers: \n");
    scanf("%d %d", &x, &y);

    visible[x][y] = TRUE;		/* 'clicked' on (x,y) */

    if(grid[x][y])		        /* if mine */
	printf("Sorry You Hit a Mine Game Over\n");
    else
        display();				/* display grid */

so that if you don't hit a mine it will ask you for another go, but if you do hit a mine you won't get another go.

although i've been messin about with it an i'm not sure if a loops the best way to go

yeah cheers.

I know there's quite a bit to do i just wanted to get the basic concept so i can play about with it abit thanks for your help

Code:

   intialise();			

    placeMine(11,11,'.'); 		/*Where a Mine Is placed*/
    placeMine(10,11,'.');     /*Where a Mine Is placed*/

    printf("Enter 2 numbers: \n"); /*Text Displayed*/
    scanf("%d %d", &x, &y);        /*Get Numbers*/

    visible[x][y] = TRUE;		/* 'clicked' on (x,y) */

    if(grid[x][y])            /* if mine */   
	printf("Sorry You Hit a Mine Game Over\n");  /*Text Displayed*/
    else 
    display();				/* display grid */
     printf("Well done You now have 10 points Try again\n");
      printf("\n");
      
      /*User's Second Attempt at Finding a Mine*/
      
         printf("Enter 2 numbers: \n"); /*Text Displayed*/
    scanf("%d %d", &x, &y);        /*Get Numbers*/

    visible[x][y] = TRUE;		/* 'clicked' on (x,y) */

    if(grid[x][y])            /* if mine */   
	printf("Sorry You Hit a Mine Game Over\n");  /*Text Displayed*/
    else 
    display();				/* display grid */
     printf("Well done You now have 10 points Try again\n");
      printf("\n");
       
   system("PAUSE");

    return 0;

}

I've got it so it ask's you again if you do infact not hit a mine. But how can i get it so if you DO hit a mine it displays the grid showing you where you hit the mine? IT works for if you don't hit a mine but i can't seem to get it to work for when you DO hit a mine. It also needs to end once you hit a mine and not continue like it does now. I've tried end if and i can't seem to get it to work
