alright guys, here we are, the fruits of my labour. My final project, "Pearls Before Swine". It's a fairly simple game so don't be scared away if you've never played it before. I'm a little upset that it's not quite as impressive as my last year's final (link: http://compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=7575), but I'll chock that up to the fact that I knew turing for two years and c++ for one. Anyway, enjoy guys and feedback is always appreciated. |

"Pearls before Swine"? That's a fairly obscure webcomic is it not? |

Surely you're not suggesting Calvin and Hobbes is obscure? |

Hey fonzie would it be possible to also see the source? It would be wonderfully educational |

took me forever to beat this game, like 15 tries. In the end I decided to copy what the computer did to beat me |

Thomas Hobbes is pretty obscure nowdays... I don't think the same can be argued for Hobbes the tiger. Although Bill Watterson has definitely faded into complete obscurity (and thus single-handedly ended the golden age of comics). ...but I digress... |

well I assure you, this game has nothing to do with any webcomic. I've actually never heard of "pearls before swine" the comic. Just a coincidence. |

Fonzie I'm curious how you made a white background that is clearable, I'm new to C++ so could you show some code that allowed you to do that? I'm convinced you are working in console right? |

I just used the clear screen function. That's not in iostream though, it's one of the older libraries. Conio or maybe stdio....one of the odler ones. |

It would be conio.h. There are many ways to clear the screen, but few that will work on most platforms. |

conio.h is indeed Windows specific. |

A bit hard to beat, but a good game and challenge. How did you clear the screen after every turn? I am new to C++ and I only get the black screen where the information scrolls down. |
