Here's a very basic console game I made...

Why I made it : I've just entered highschool(well...in September, but you know what I mean) and we now have programming and TIC classes. Of course it's very basic, we've mainly worked in pseudocode,but circa a week ago we started porting our code to c++.Nothing serious as you can imagine, just programming problems.We have a homework to make something pretty simple, so why not make a small game,eh?

 

I've done programming in Java before(became quite good at it), and c++ isn't too different.It was just a matter of learning how to make certain things,but only in c++(syntax difference).

 

Download it here : https://www.mediafire.com/?tyqwrb98hrrxp2t   - Updated link,should work even for those who don't have Visual Studio installed.

 

Game help : You're controlling the "@" symbol. Catch as many " * "-s as you can.

Controls : arrow keys to move, esc to quit at any given time.

I haven't added more levels or a goal yet.I'll be working on that(maybe).

 

Note : This is quite ahead of what I'm currently doing at school but hey, why not?

 

Main class:

"item" class :

#include <iostream>#include "windows.h"#include <cstdlib> #include "item.cpp"using namespace std;item g; int score = 0;const int MAP_X = 20;const int MAP_Y = 10; char map[MAP_Y][MAP_X] = {	"###################",	"#@                #",	"#                 #",	"#                 #",	"#                 #",	"#                 #",	"#                 #",	"#                 #",	"#                 #",	"###################"};int x = 1;int y = 1;bool running = true;int main() {	while (running==true) {		system("cls");		for (int display = 0; display < 10; display++) {			cout << map[display] << endl;		}		cout << "Score : " << score;		system("pause>nul");		if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DOWN)) {			int y2 = y + 1;			if (map[y2][x] != '#') {				map[y][x] = ' ';				y++;				map[y][x] = '@';			}		}		if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP)) {			int y2 = y - 1;			if (map[y2][x] != '#') {				map[y][x] = ' ';				y--;				map[y][x] = '@' ;			}		}		if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LEFT)) {			int x2 = x - 1;			if (map[y][x2] != '#') {				map[y][x] = ' ';				x--;				map[y][x] = '@';			}		}		if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RIGHT)) {			int x2 = x + 1;			if (map[y][x2] != '#') {				map[y][x] = ' ';				x++;				map[y][x] = '@';			}		}		if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_ESCAPE)) running = false;		if (!g.isSpawned) {			int xitem = (rand() % 17) + 1;			int yitem = (rand() % 8) + 1;			g.createItem(xitem, yitem, '*');			map[g.y][g.x] = g.c;		}		if (map[g.y][g.x] != g.c)  { 			g.isSpawned = false;			score++;		}	}	system("cls");	cout << "Game Over." << endl << "Your score was : " << score << endl;	cin.get();	return 0;}

#include <iostream>#include <cstdlib>using namespace std;class item {public :	int x;	int y;	char c = '*';	bool isSpawned;	int getX() { return x; }	int getY() { return y; }	int setX(int a) { x = a; }	int setY(int a) { y = a; }	void createItem(int x,int y,char c) {		item: = x;		item::y = y;		item::c = c;				isSpawned = true;	}};

Some dll is missing...

Really?

 

It's just a fucking console project.

Jeez.

Jeez.

MSVCP120D.dll

[pakedskeezer]

Same here

[Nineshadow]

MSVCP120D.dll

Oh,right...

I've compiled it in Visual Studio. Hang on.

[Laputacake]

Trying it now

[Destroyer]

Nice its a cool little project. Works well.

Do you have Visual Studio installed?

 

@Laputacake is it working?

Yeah it works fine mate good job

nah i got msvcp thingie and intalling vcredist didnt help

[Nineshadow]

@Laputacake @pakedskeezer @nanowatt 

Does this work for you?

[Nineshadow]

works

I gave a debug version and not a release one D:.

Beginner mistake.

[Avratz]

You need to compile your project in release mode(select config from the dropdown box at the top). The D on the end of the DLL name signifies it's debug, so it won't be included in standard Windows C runtime libs.

 

Furthermore, you can forego the use of a DLL by changing the runtime linking under project properties(right click project in the solution explorer and select properties). /MT for release, /MTd for debug. This will statically link the C runtime in your exe.

This game reminds me of good old snake on the old nokia bricks

I've done that already....

The issue has been fixed.

Ty anyway.

[GoodBytes]

@Avratz is completely correct. Currently, only those with the same version of Visual Studio, as yours, installed (2013), can view it.

Real cool game by the way!

[LePawel]

Upload release version... the "D" in the DLL hits that you've compiled it in Debug and uploaded that instead.

OH GOD DO YOU GUYS REALLY DON'T READ!!

 

 

I'VE UPDATED THE DOWNLOAD LINK.

[LePawel]

I'VE UPDATED THE DOWNLOAD LINK.

Not when you put the Update annotation after the link.

Put it at the end or start of the post, in capitals like normal person followed by what the update contains ie.

UPDATE:

You can make full snake game using link lists.

That's what I'm currently working on.

Trying to figure out the algorithm.

it's nice to see all this appreciation for the help and informations given

[LePawel]

That's what I'm currently working on.

Trying to figure out the algorithm.

Simply have pointers to "children" nodes, and have function called "setPosition". Use it to move the front node, and have that function automatically call the function of its linked child using the old position till you get to the last one (if(child) where child is a pointer). Update all nodes and viola.

It depends on how you solved your game "field" (you can make separate class that uses single characters as pixels) to update the visuals.

Adding a new node may be a little fiddly when setting up initial position, depends on how you want the snake to behave (expand at the back? - possible issues with edges; sit below the last node and wait for it to move away?)

When I've already fixed an issue and 4 people come and say how to fix the issue that has already been fixed...

[Ciccioo]

When I've already fixed an issue and 4 people come and say how to fix the issue that has already been fixed...

(i can't count 4 people)

the first solution even had some insight on what's going on, and tips on the alternatives you have, i thought it could use a proper reply

anyway i just wanted to throw that out there, sometimes i just criticize people on the internet, i'm done now

 

Simply     -do things-

"simplicity" is quite relative. if he's not experienced he may have to think about it a little longer, that's no capital sin
