Thread: HighScores Menu

Hi everybody im doing this game project and i got stock in the last part.
so the problem is that is i can make scores to sort from highest to lowest but the name of players will eventually printf in the order it was scanned how can relate this 2 to every player's score print with their own name from highest to lowest
here is my code

Code:

    Scores[Counter2]=HIGHSCORE;    

TheLastOne[Counter2]=HIGHSCORE; 
       char Name[20][20];/*names are scanned and store in this array in another part of code*/

    for (j=0 ; j<19 ; j++)
    {
        for (i=0 ; i<19 ; i++)
        {
            if (Scores[i+1] < Scores[i])
            {
                t = Scores[i];
                Scores[i] = Scores[i + 1];
                Scores[i + 1] = t;


            }
        }
    }
    system("cls");
    for (i=20 ; i>=20-Counter2 ; i--)
    {
        printf ("%d-%s=>%d\n",21-i,Name[20-i],Scores[i-1]);
    }

i tried store the names in another array by comparing them with this code below but didnt work

Code:

        for(int k=0;k<20;k++)
    {
            for(int z=0;z<20;z++)
            {
                if(TheLastOne[k]==Scores[z])
                    for(int u=0;u<20;u++)
                    {
                        Name2[u][k]=Name[u][19-z];
                    }
            
            }
    }

You need to relate the names with scores. Having them in two separate arrays is, as you can see, difficult to keep track of.

This is where a struct would come in handy, for example:

Code:

struct Player
{
    char name[20];
    int score;
};

Then have an array of those and sort them appropriately:

Code:

Player gamePlayers[MAX_PLAYERS];

You could just as easily define a function "comparePlayer()" in order to pass it to "qsort()" for fast and easy sorting.

Then how about this:
Each time you change the index position of a score, while you try to sort it of course, make the same change for the name. I see you have implemented bubble-sort, so inside that if statement you could also swap the contents of Name[i] and Name[i+1], by using "strcpy()" and a temporary array.
