I am attempting to make a console rpg to get some practice before I move any farther in the book I have. I want to know how I can store variables in files and also how I could use an array to store items without using a switch or quite a few if then statements. I've thought about using a class for items.
I dont know how I could use multiple variables in one file because this doesn't seem to work.
So my questions are these.Code:#include <iostream.h> #include <fstream.h> void main() { int x = 5; int y = 6; ofstream a_file("c:\jonsexample.txt"); a_file<<x; a_file<<y; a_file.close(); y=0; x=0; //to change x and y value ifstream b_file("c:\jonsexample.txt"); b_file>>x; b_file>>y; cout<<x<<endl; cout<<y<<endl; b_file.close(); }
1. What can I do to write a function for an inventory screen and output the item name without using if-then statements or a switch statement (maybe I have to use these) by possibly using an array?
2. How can I write a load/save function by writing an array to a file and then loading the array for character information?
Thank You for your comments.
