[YMIHere]

Sweet! I should come here more often so I can learn C/C++ with some of you guys. =)

Anyway, my first game was a guessing game that let you pick the range, but I accidentally overwrote it when trying out someone elses guessing game. I gave someone the source, but when I asked for it back they were busy. Haven't seen him in months. =P

Since that one's out of the question, I also made a cheesy little eight-ball program. =)

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
	char choice='y';
	printf("\n\nHello, I'm am the almighty eight-ball. You should know what to do \
 *with me by now so start with the questions.\n\n");
	while(choice=='y'||choice=='Y')
	{
 *int random_number;
 *while(getchar()!='\n');
 *srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
 *random_number=rand()%9; *//Limit the random number from 0 to 10.
 *switch(random_number)
 *{
 *	case 1:
 * *printf("All signs point to yes.\n");
 * *break;
 *	case 2:
 * *printf("Not very likely.\n");
 * *break;
 *	case 3:
 * *printf("Of course.\n");
 * *break;
 *	case 4:
 * *printf("It looks a bit murky, maybe money will help me see the answer.\n");
 * *break;
 *	case 5:
 * *printf("What the hell are you asking me for?\n");
 * *break; *	
 *	case 6:
 * *printf("Go away, fool!\n");
 * *break;
 *	case 7:
 * *printf("The answer is 42, it's always 42.\n");
 * *break;
 *	case 8:
 * *printf("Do I bother you while you're sleeping? Maybe I should.\n");
 * *break;
 *	case 9:
 * *printf("How the hell should I know? I'm a freaking ball.\n");
 * *break;
 *	default:
 * *printf("No.\n");
 *}
 *for(int i=0;i<300000000;i++);	//Pre-historic sleeping operation.
 *printf("\nWould you like to ask another question?(y/n)");
 *choice=getchar();
 *if(choice=='y'||choice=='Y')
 *{
 *	printf("Ask away.\n\n");
 *}
 *fflush(stdin);
	}
	return 0;
}

Now for anyone who wants to look at some really ugly stuff, I made a text Yahtzee game a while ago, but it's kind of big so I'll add it as an attachment. I don't understand much of it any more so I can't explain why I did certain things, but I do know that I was taking numbers from players as text because if they entered text when I wanted a number Yahtzee would freeze up. These were both compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio C++, so sorry if anyone has problems getting them to compile in their compilers.

My favorite program I did while learning was an artificial psychologist, using switches.

whee.

I asked it questions for hours.

Like:

Me: Am I crazy?
Dr: Yes, that does sound like an interesting theory.

I made a program I called "smalltalk" it was able to understand simple sentences and reply with sensicle answers. Great thing about it was that I did it all in MSX-BASIC. I was pretty proud of that program. Too bad I lost it.[/b][/quote]
Answers that made sense? :blink:

*bows to your skills*

I can barely do that just speaking, let alone write a program to do it!

[Ioncannon]

I will try to write that program Kon Tiki. I can do it soopn if I had a compiler for mac. If I cannot find one, then it will take a while till I get my pc back...

[dragonLancer]

wow your doing good (im still workin on it too) btw where are you on your C++ now?

[Pangloth]

Not trying to be the code nazi or anything but ANSI C++ mandates that main() is declared as returning an int and taking two arguments:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

in which case you need to include a return statement.

[Kon-Tiki]

Does it even compile when not including a return in something else than a void-function? :blink: And what's the use of declaring it as an int if it doesn't return anything?

[Pangloth]

Well, unfortunately the answer to many language semantic questions is "it depends on the compiler implementation" but in general a mature C++ compiler will yell at you for not returning a value when you said that the function should.

About main returning an int, this is only useful if the OS needs to examine the return value (either requested by a script or other reason), but my point was only that it's the standard and it's probably a good idea to do it this way. No reason not to.
