----------------------------------- nk92 Fri Jan 09, 2009 7:08 pm Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- Well, i'm trying to make a snake game for my final ISU.. I've never programmed in my life, and its really confusing even though i've been trying really hard at it.. So well.. we were told to make a game using a map (text file), opening the file in the procedure and then using the map in some way :S I decided to make a snake game.. until it was too late and I found out that it was much harder than i expected it to be.. But, anyway. I've put both my map and my program itself in attachments.. please please please help! i need to give it in next week! =D ----------------------------------- syntax_error Fri Jan 09, 2009 7:12 pm RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life!

No One is going to finish your program here. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Jan 09, 2009 7:37 pm Re: Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- I've never programmed in my life What were you doing since September? What parts do you find confusing/difficult? ----------------------------------- nk92 Fri Jan 09, 2009 7:43 pm RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- I never asked anyone to finish my program for me.. I just wanted someone to have a look at it. I don't understand the concept of using the map in a text file to make my character move. I want to do the work myself.. I've been doing that the whole semester.. I don't really understand two dimentional arrays and arrays in general. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Jan 09, 2009 7:58 pm RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- the "map in a textfile" is used only as an external storage/configuration. The contents of the textfile are read and loaded into an array. We've got an excellent tutorial on arrays and 2D arrays -- http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=14333 ----------------------------------- nk92 Fri Jan 09, 2009 8:01 pm RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life!

I'll check it out : ) ----------------------------------- nk92 Fri Jan 09, 2009 8:05 pm RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- So, what i've done is right or wrong? Have i used the map as an "external storage/configuration"? ----------------------------------- OneOffDriveByPoster Fri Jan 09, 2009 9:21 pm Re: RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- So, what i've done is right or wrong? Have i used the map as an "external storage/configuration"?As long as you are reading the map in and not trying to store into the file, it should be what you were asked for. ----------------------------------- nk92 Sat Jan 10, 2009 10:36 am RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life!

Thanks! :) ----------------------------------- nk92 Sat Jan 10, 2009 10:39 am RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- Sorry if this is getting annoying, but how would you make er objects like balls or squares pop up for the snake to "eat"? I tried doing a randint, but i'm not sure if im doing it the right way cause it makes the circles pop up all over the place instead of only after the snake "eats" one... ----------------------------------- The_Bean Sat Jan 10, 2009 10:50 am Re: Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life! First project! HELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D ----------------------------------- What you want is 1 or 2 things for him to eat, and when the snake moves over top of it, reset the objects coordinates to be somewhere else. Only reset them when a collision takes place, not every loop through the program. ----------------------------------- nk92 Tue Jan 13, 2009 12:12 am RE:Snake Game HELP! --> Ive never programmed in my life!
