I've programmed a one player strategy game called 'homeyg's Nuclear Wars.' Even though it is without graphics, I have implemented text colors in this one. I need some people to test it for me, give suggestions, give ideas about what else to add, whatever. If you want to see the code, say it (but it's highly uncommented).
Here is the link to the zipped .exe.
The game has a short tutorial, so you're not completely lost.
In the instructions you said, "...but you lose reputation by destroying residentialor civilian locations..."
I noticed, for example, if you do a nuke run and give invalid numbers (ex. x = 30, y = 100), it won't tell you anything and will eat your nuke
Lastly, I think you should label the x and y axis (like in excel) so the user doesn't have to count the squares.
hmm, I'll fix these.Originally Posted by MadCow257
Wait, didn't see your edit in time, going to fix that too.

Here is the latest .exe to avoid confusion.

Please if you've dled another .exe besides the one in the previous post, please dl the one in the previous post.
hmm, for some reason its not letting me edit my own posts, so just ignore all of the other .exe links.

I just noticed this -- in the instructions it says that at first there will be 10 residential squares revealed, but when I play the game it reveals 15.
As a suggestion, I think the nukes should be colored.
*note*
I think when you give the coordinates for a spy run, it should not only check if its too large/small but also if the coordinate has already been revealed.
ill test the game more thoroughly tomorrow as im going to bed now, but could i just ask whether you used a 3d array or pointers for the squares? i ask because ive made a basic tic-tac-toe game and im weighing up the benefits of each method
I used 4 arrays total. 1 for displaying the board, 1 for the internal workings of the board, one to record the x,y locations of residential areas on the board, and one to record the x,y locations of the military sites.
The two arrays that deal with the board are 2D and the ones that deal with recording the locations of the different things are 1D.
All arrays besides the one that displays the board are arrays of structs.
Hope that helps some. Looking at my code might not do any good because it is void of useful comments.
Yeah thanks mate, i was just curious as to how you made it, im thinking about making a similar game myself, kinda like Civ3, which i see you also like to play, hehe
Proud player of CivIII since December 2001!Btw, it would be extremely hard to make a game like CivIII by yourself because I'm in on a project like that with multiple people and it's really tough (I think the thread for it is in my sig). I had to take a break from it.
Not to advertise or anything (if that's against the forum rules), but the forum in my sig is an awesome place to get good at CivIII.

I've updated the game, no more bugs with nukes or spy runs I hope. The code text file is attached. Just compile it.

what i think is, you need a more detailed explanation of wtf im supposed to do.
Code:#if _emo #define stereo_type_i_dislike #endif

Thank you
Sorry. I'll do that. Btw, I've made some corrections to the game and I've added a tutorial.
