    Baseball Simulation

    Finally, after a week of programming, this program is finished (for now). There are a lot of improvements that still need to happen. This is just the first release. I will change things in the future if someone wants me to. Also, if you have a suggestion, please let me know. I have made a future feature list (can be found in "Instructions").

    The object is to score more runs in 5 innings than the computer does. In order to score runs, you must enter a number between 1 and 100. The difference between your guess and the randomly choosen number, determines what your player does. I know some things are not humanly possible like hitting grand slams with back to back hitters, but this program allows you to do this. I have also included a batting chart, which shows what your player will do if the difference is in that range. The computers score will be randomly generated. Well, enough of the talking, let's play some baseball.

    Download It Here (Updated V.01)

    P.S. Remeber the "Const Char to Char Error" thread. Well, that string is used in this program when the computers score is randomly generated and outputted as the game notes. You'll see what I'm talking about.

    I tried it but don't know if it's working right since I don't know the rules of baseball.
    However, it looks cool tho, the whole thing overall. The input checking needs to be fixed; it crashes when I input letter instead of digit. Also it does not over to play again after the game is over.
    Keep it up!

    Thanks for the feedback. The input does crash, but you are supposed to input the number that is next to the team you want. It is a little confusing. I forgot to add the play again after it's over. Adding right now and will update post.

    *Never* trust user input.
    I did know what to input, btw

    EDIT: You might want to attach the source code as well 'cause people around here don't trust you, or in fact anyone

    Uploading new file with source file, easier to understand instructions, and play again at the finish of a game.

    Try again. I was probably uploading a new version while you were downloading so the file wasn't complete.

    Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything that might make it better because I know it's not perfect?

    Fixed a few things making it more realistic, still has some bugs, but it's better than before. I'm now at v.03 and changed the filename so you can't use the link above and its impossible to edit my post so use this link:

    Baseball v.03
