----------------------------------- Fonzie Thu Jan 19, 2006 10:09 pm Pearls Before Swine - Final Project ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Fri Jan 20, 2006 12:44 am ----------------------------------- "Pearls before Swine"? That's a fairly obscure webcomic is it not? ----------------------------------- blaster009 Fri Jan 20, 2006 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- Lol...Said the Hobbes avatar... ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sat Jan 21, 2006 12:59 am ----------------------------------- Lol...Said the Hobbes avatar... Surely you're not suggesting Calvin and Hobbes is obscure? :P ----------------------------------- Justin_ Sat Jan 21, 2006 3:25 pm ----------------------------------- Hey fonzie would it be possible to also see the source? It would be wonderfully educational :P ----------------------------------- Justin_ Sun Jan 22, 2006 9:01 am ----------------------------------- took me forever to beat this game, like 15 tries. In the end I decided to copy what the computer did to beat me :P ----------------------------------- codemage Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:41 pm ----------------------------------- 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... ----------------------------------- Fonzie Sat Jan 28, 2006 11:49 am ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Justin_ Sat Jan 28, 2006 12:52 pm ----------------------------------- 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? ----------------------------------- Fonzie Thu Feb 02, 2006 10:49 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Feb 03, 2006 1:50 am ----------------------------------- It would be conio.h. There are many ways to clear the screen, but few that will work on most platforms. ----------------------------------- wtd Fri Feb 03, 2006 1:52 am ----------------------------------- conio.h is indeed Windows specific. ----------------------------------- Thorgram Wed Nov 12, 2008 8:17 am Re: Pearls Before Swine - Final Project ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Wed Nov 12, 2008 2:46 pm RE:Pearls Before Swine - Final Project ----------------------------------- Now, to answer that, all you'd have to do is read the four posts above yours. Not only that, but you'd have avoided necro-posting in this 2+ year old topic. Please read the rules and the entire topic before posting.
