Thread: MS DOS game with c++

I just started learning c++ 5 days ago, and this game is what ive made so far. No, im not new to programming, i program extensivly in PERL, but i moved to c++ recently.

The game is going to be a single player Dos RPG. So far ive got a character creation, sex, and class choice programmed in. As well as a scrolling terrain!!

After you download, rename to rof2.exe, my server wont allow me to hold zips or exe's. Then run the game. You will be greeted with a new character screen. Follow the directions to create your new character. Then it will switch to the scrolling terrain part. Use 8,6,2,4 followed by ENTER, to move UP, RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT respectively. IM working on fixing it so you can use the arrow keys, with out pressing enter in the next version.

Please let me know what you think about it.


Warning: This IS an exe program, if you feel unsafe about using EXE's from the net, check it for virus with NORTAN or some other anti-virus program. If your still uncomfortable that is understandable too.

I decided to add the cpp files, becuase many might be too weary of exe files.

this is included by main.cpp

actualy, i used windows.h functions. SetConsoleTextAttributes() or something like such.

Im using "Sams Teach yourself C++ in 24 hours".
But im only half through chapter 12.

But as i said in my first post, i programmed extensivly in PERL, so i have a good grasp of programming techniques. The hardest part is finding resource that tells you HOW to do things, not that you NEED to do them.


I also read many message boards for problems i have, and what others have had, it helps.
