Thread: Problem with my building function for my roguelike

Hi all,

as some might know i have been working on a simple roguelike to get better in programming. I am trying to get a function working that will allow a Player to build walls in a dungeon if there isn't allready a wall there.

However i am getting this error

Code:

and here is my code for the function:

        char secondAction;
        cin>>secondAction;

        {
            pMap[posx-1][posy]=wall;
            collectedWalls--;

        }
       //Linux Version

        }
}

Player Class:

Code:

class Player
{
private:

    string name;
    int level;
    int healthMax;
    int health;
    int dexterty;
    int strength;
    int endurance;
    int defense;
    int exp;
    int expMax;
    int pgold;
    int collectedWalls;
    //Player Location
    int posx;
    int posy;
    int x;
    int y;
    Map* pMap;

public:
    //Constructor
    Player();
    //Destructor
   // ~Player();

    void newPlayer();
    void levelUp();
    void setHealth(int healthBonus);
    void movement();
    void attack();
    void viewCharacter();
    void building();
    void mineing();
    void setMap(Map* Dungeon);

};

Map Class:

Code:

class Map
{

  public:
  char map[mapx][mapy];

  void genMap();
  void printMap();


};

mapx and mapy are constants for all to reach mapx is a int with value of 22 and mapy a integer with value of 88.

floor, wall or so are also const chars which are reachable for all.

found my misstake there was always a ->map missing after each pMap[posx][posy -1]

That may be the only compile-related problem but there are other problems in that code. It looks like there are many magic numbers and subtractions going on that obfuscate and confuse the very simple idea of checking an array element for a specific value and then performing logic based on the result. You need to look into removing all the magic numbers and fine tune (read: polish) that code.
