I don't want to use my previous engine. it was this:
I want to be able to pick up and item when crossed, then use it or drop it later on.Code:int sword = 0;
if (sword == o)
this
else if (sword == 1)
that
How would i do that?

I don't want to use my previous engine. it was this:

if (sword == o)
this
else if (sword == 1)
that
How would i do that?
thats kind of vague, please elaborate.
you mean if u "step" on it?
well if thats what u meant, when i first started programming i had a text game, heres how i did it for picking up the amulet:
If you want to see all of the code just ask i'll post it as an attachment.Code:/***************************************************************
****************************************************************
Code for Amulet
****************************************************************
***************************************************************/
if (User_Location_X == 0 && User_Location_Y == 5)
{
if (Amulet == 1)
{
cout <<"You have returned to where you found Soris's Amulet.\n\n";
}
else if (Amulet == 0)
{
cout <<"You found Soris's Amulet!\n\n";
cout <<"You feel protected and are awarded ten points.\n\n";
Amulet = 1;
}
}
Here are some of the data structures I've used for text games
PHP Code:enum eItemFunction { eOnce, eInfinite, eFinite, eTimeLimited }; // how many times can you use item?
enum eRoomType { ePath, eWall, eRoom }; // types of rooms
struct sItem {
char* itemName;
int itemStrBonus;
int itemLifeBonus;
eItemFunction itemUse;
}
struct sMapRoom {
eRoomType roomType;
sItem roomItems[4]; // max of 4 items
char* roomDescription;
bool bNeedKey;
char* keyName;
}
struct sMap {
sMapRoom mapRooms[100][100];
char* mapDescription;
// map details like geography etc.
}
struct sPlayer {
sItem Inventory[32];
int Life;
int x; // map co-ordinates
int y;
// etc.
}
That helps out a little... but how would i ADD the items to the inventory? My first game was using RoDs engine. i created about 1800 lines of that crap.... and the game was really bad. after 6 games of that i got into using structures... my latest source is this
attached. Its a game to rival my dads Beave hunter (beave is my nickname). So It's called Dad Hunter. LOL. But when i start the game, im already on that wierd floor with the trap on it.. no matter what, then when i add to the skill, max_y etc, it performs an illegal operation. That really irritates me.
Hm, wha? where? huh? RoD made an engine? Tell me about it!Quote:

Dad Hunter makes me think of my time in BASIC :p
You should do something about it, put some things in functions.
it was in my first week of C++, i had a junky-at-best txt game that ran on if's, a switch or two, and user input...i mean it was ok but i wouldn't consider it an engine...
I love Cut & PasteQuote:
My first game was using RoDs engine and the game was really bad.
:D
I call anything that the game runs on an engine, what makes things happen. In my experiance in ZZT, my company made a game call mech trainer with the player at the bottom of the screen controlling the mech above him. That is an engine. If (sword == 2) do this, i consider that an engine because else if (sword == 1) do that
if its an engine its a ford....prone to problems....
And travis, dont call me cut & paste, my dad does that to me when i wrote 3400 lines of C++ code by myself.. and it made me destroy alot of stuff... almost made me break the computer.. so DONT call me that.
And i dont care much for sarcaasm.. bad week.
I hear ya.Quote:

i got the joke, guess he missed it...
Okay... but my other nickname is some how CNP... Cut 'n Paste because i was to busy to answer my dad when he asked me what && is, what cpp programmer doesn't know what && is?
I kinda like the idea of writing an Engine for ungifted c++
programmers. Is there much need for a Console App Engine?
A beginning one?Quote:

Nah, a dos engine is fairly simple. It needs a coord system, etc. Gimme your email and i'll send you mine if you want.
I knew what it was when i first picked up a cpp book when i was 13, about 1/5 year ago. And i need it so that i can actually start a real game... I dont know any thing about the windows programming.
If your serious about game programming, you should learn opengl or directx....at first i didn't know any winapi, and it was really confusing and intimidating as to where and when to start, been i've been in opengl for a few weeks now, and i'm getting prepared to build a game engine and do my first FPS, ever. Dive in, the water will be warm soon enough!
Hey rod, your not talking about your Caverns game, are you?
the one like this:
Code:
cin >> name; /* Store users name*/
cout <<"Hello "<< name <<" , do u think you can escape the caverns?\n\n";
cout <<"Your objective is to stay alive and aquire 100 points.\n\n";
cout <<"Both of these tasks are possible, and with a little ";
cout <<"logic u will succeed.\n\n";
cout <<"You may see controls at any time by pressing (I)\n\n";
getch(); /* Wait for key push and continue.*/
do/* Start loop*/
{
/* Check user position.*/
if (User_Location_Y == 25)
{
cout <<"You cannot continue in this direction\n";
User_Location_Y--;
getch();
}
else if (User_Location_Y == -25)
{
cout <<"You cannot continue in this direction\n";
User_Location_Y++;
getch();
}
else if (User_Location_X == 25)
{
cout <<"You cannot continue in this direction\n";
User_Location_X--;
getch();
}
else if (User_Location_X == -25)
{
cout <<"You cannot continue in this direction\n";
User_Location_X++;
}
/* This decrements by 1 every loop, when it hits 0 game ends.*/
end_game--;
if (end_game == 0)
{
system("cls");
cout <<"You have used all your energy, GAME OVER!\n";
return 0;
}
/* This displays every loop.*/
system("cls");
cout <<"North (1)\nSouth (2)\nEast (3)\nWest (4)\n\n";
cin >>input;
cout <<"\n";
/* Key for user initiated exit.*/
if (input == 'Q' || input == 'q')
{
system("cls");
return 0;
}
not in my last post no. What you have there is my really, really old engine, i improved some stuff since then but caverns is an abandoned newbie project.
I'm talking bout a 3d opengl graphics engine that my FPS (and prolly a few others as i improve) will be based off.

I was talking about the text game you were gonna send me in the email.
i was going to send it to trav he asked what was involved in it, but ya thats the really old version.
my dev c++ has an error in it.. it always gets a error in the resource file when i try to do a project... can i do that just by using a regular C++ file?
it should compile fine, make sure you have those three opengl libraries installed on your computer. If not you can get them at www.opengl.org
Nah, not really required, i'm going to write my own OpenGLQuote:

In a dev C++ wiindows app
And what the f is pragma?
Then i don't understand much of the errors, you have all the
headers and libs? Check it in the dir
I copied it
#Pragma's are compiler directive's.
I'm not sure about if you can compile OpenGL programs under
DEV++. I suggest look at the DEV forums.
I've done it before, Dev came with those type of programs
Do keep in mind that the program RoD posted is developed
for a specific compiler, probably the one he has, and might
not work with DEV, ask RoD his compiler
Yea, okay.. are you on 24/7, travis?

Game Programming wich, at the state i'm right now, doesn't
require Polymorphism or Abstraction. I will get into it
as soon as it will be required.
Uh-huh

Yahoo, i'm now officially a Blizzarddog qualified programmer!Code:typedef struct dog
{
string breed;
int flea_count;
int dog_weight;
}
Okay, yea i use structs, i cant do classes...... But i do need to learnd indows API, even my MSVC++ Doesn't compile copied programs... whats wrong!?!?!?
Congrats! You just qualified to thread bumper!:D :p
Post the not-running code.
Hey, i just saw your post from a while back and replied.... I need the info!
Something with the closing '}'Code:#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include "resource.h"
BOOL MainDialogProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
return FALSE;
}
int _tmain(void)
{
DialogBoxParam(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1),
NULL, (DLGPROC)MainDialogProc, 0);
return 0;
}
What the hell? This code won't run in a hundred years!
PS: Nowhere a wrong '{' or '}' to be seen.
Oh yea, if thats your lame attempt a a joke...... You should try MSCV++ MSDN Library insults... not Human...
Whats wrong with it? I copied it from www.sunlight.org or .com or what ever it is..... lemme think....... oh yeah its http://sunlightd.com/Windows/GUI/DialogBoxes.html
It said in MSVC++, start a new WIN32 App, and it will compile, i have the headers and every thing.
Yeah, You posted only the first part of the code on the firstQuote:

those ones. That doesn't help me much, as structs are very easy to use..... I can't even do classes!Quote:

And Hunter2's code doesn't run, either....
